<DIV>Well it was just a dig, did not mean to start a fire storm. Seriously
though I hope I don't run into the problems Eric described! I won't hesitate to
throw on the TN carb and Perry pump, I refuse to relearn what I have already
learned.</DIV>

<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

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

<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How could you go wrong for that price? Heck how could you go wrong,
period!!</DIV>
