  Have used it going on fifth season now. Even though it only has around 300 flights in that time span, I still run the original bearings and can just fuel it, prime it and fire it up. It just keeps on ticking and believe me it has taken quite a lickin'. And still have not bothered to use a pump on it. I have to believe it has served better than the full blown "pattern" engines overall. 

  How could you go wrong for that price? Heck how could you go wrong, period!!

    Particularly since you run 15% fuel, all day long, don't use full throttle, can turn a high-pitch 3 blade prop at 8K, AND - put in ONE SS sealed main bearing ($28 -Boca), and maintenance for the life of the motor is over.
        Oh - you can run the Tower "6 for $15" plugs all day, every day, too.

    Cost per flight to operate this beauty is really down there... check my site for costs comparisons.
