<DIV><BR></DIV>Don't feel uncomfortable. What is this, Russia? You have a
product in a<BR>competitive market. There are people on this list that NEED
this<BR>information (how to buy the stuff they need to beat their competition)
to<BR>make an informed decision. More than one vendor means competition.
That's<BR>good!<BR><BR>You're a good guy, Pattern Dude. You give at
least as much as you receive<BR>with the pattern community. I say, post your
link. Don't overdo it! But if<BR>someone asks where to get a product that you
sell, let them know. I see no<BR>harm in that.<BR><BR>-Dennis<BR><BR>>
Mintor engines are also available from AeroSlave at <A

are more than competitive. Is it OK to post this kind of<BR>>

a shorter pipe. Should<BR>>> be interesting to see what it performs
like. In the meanwhile not<BR>>> quoting rpm's etc. just how it goes up,
transitions and idles.One<BR>>> funny note is that although it advises
running FAI fuel at the end of<BR>>> the day it will hardly run on it...
any thoughts on the straight<BR>>> fuel...Eric.<BR>>
