You realize that the new Dave Patrick Models engines are just MOKIs re-compressed for 15%.

Plus, the Moki thrives on FAI fuel; it's hard to get less expensive fuel than that, and stay in the alcohol category.  I've got 1-1.80 and 2-2.10's   I echo what Matt says.  I wonder how much weight you'd save if you milled off those stout beam  mounting ears, and just radial mounted it? Bill Glaze

Brian, Why use anything else? Well, weight is an issue, and for some designs, the side exhaust is an issue, but thta's about it. The webra is a powerhouse but has had a bad run of pumps, and these have given us fits. There's nothing wrong with the engine tho.
 
To be honest, if weight wasn't an issue, I would use the MOKI 180. I have not used an engine more user friendly or more robust than that one, and has power to burn. Piped, propped and mounted correctly, it could be made fairly quiet. It was nice to just fuel it, prime it, one flip start it, and have it last several seasons without any hint of a problem. No bearings, no rods, no rings, or anything else for that matter.

I am switching from Webra to OS160 this season.  OS160 does weight more, so I am having to move the battery back many inches.

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!!
