[NSRCA-discussion] Engines

[J N Hiller]

Hi Matt, how's this; I've driven 5000 miles this summer going to contests without leaving the NW.
Retirement is great!

Actually, it sounds like bragging to me. Bragging in Pattern is always part of the fun. I'm sure some will say Nay, but hey, that's part of the fun too. If we didn't have opinions might as well not do this at all

The YS110 would be an option, but it sounds like you HAVE the best engine!
 
Reminds me of a situation I had years ago.  
I was 2nd in Expert (this is before turn-around) in 1990 at the NATS.  Only 1 point out of 1st, RATS!  Anyway…  This was my first NATS since 1983, when I also placed 2nd.  After the NATS I got a call from the nice people at Byron Fuels….  They wanted me to fly their fuel.  I explained to them that I appreciated their interest in me, but that I was very happy with Morgan/Cool Power fuels.  They persisted in telling me that they had the BEST fuel on the market and that it was superior to Cool Power.  Well, I had to take exception to that.  

You see, in the 2 ½ years leading up to the 1990 NATS, I never lost a single ROUND at a pattern contest in Expert class!  I flew in 10-15 contests each year.  In that period of time, I had not changed a single part in my YS .60RE engine, other than a glow plug.  The engine never quit, was 110% reliable.  So, I explained to the Byron folks, your fuel CAN’T be any better!  It MIGHT be as good, but can’t be better….
 
Long story to say that it sounds like you HAVE the best engine now!!  Why change?

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 u ser-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.
