Bill, are you limited to a 4 stroke? OS makes a 1.20 2C that has lots of
power. The major differences will probably in the exhaust system.

All:

Looking for opinions here.  I've been flying a Piedmont sport that tips the
scales at 9# even.  Powering it with a Y.S. 1.20 FS, and it's now 20 years
old.  Runs fine, but maybe not forever.  It turns an APC at 8800+ and offers
plenty of performance.

Question:  Is there anything else on the market that offers comparable
performance?

This is probably the most user-friendly  engine I've ever used; not moody,
always easy starting, runs at a repeatable setting every time, (1-1/4 turns
out on the main needle) and I'm wondering if there is anything else out
there that can match this performance/ease of use?

Thanks.  BTW: Opinions are O.K.; I realize these things are highly
subjective and anecdotal, and subject to individual viewpoints.
