<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the advisory. I'll surely give it
a try. Also, when I was building large displacement Drag Boat engines, we
used to balance the engine with Mallory Metal, which was nearly pure tungsten
(for it's heavy weight)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One time I took apart one of my 1.40's and
noticed a drilled and welded spot on the counterbalance, which looked identical
in miniature to what we used to do to the full size race engines. I asked
Richard Verano about it, and he was unaware of the situation. He said
"sometimes the factory will try something and not tell us." I guess that
was one of those times.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My only concern is about parts availability
down the road, Bob. And, I've got several of the 1.40 FZ's and you're
right--easy to work with, and long running also. I've also got a 1.40
L and it's good too, except for the shaking. Lots of
shaking.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Question: Is there anything else on the
market that offers comparable performance?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks. BTW: Opinions are O.K.; I
realize these things are highly subjective and anecdotal, and subject to
individual viewpoints.</FONT></DIV>
