                Hello TJ, I went to the site and noticed that also. I did however do a search for the parts. In the parts menu they have the engine pictured on the top of the page. I clicked on the pic and received a message that the site is being restructured. It did say however that it would redirect me to what I requested and it didn't. I suppose they're still out of stock. I needed a case and crankshaft. I'm truly enjoying this engine in my combat planes. Unfortunately the engine isn't sharing this same enjoyment as it hits the ground. Ken

They are still available in the UK and in Germany (where I get mine). The problem is that the price is way above US levels. The .09 engine has also disappeared from the Hobby People site, so I think they have given up on AP :'(

I have only one experience here.  It was a little painful but I got what I ordered.

I enquired at the AMA Expo, where Hobby People had a huge booth (and big discounts!).  Mark says that they have plenty in stock in the warehouse. and no plan to discontinue the engine.   #^

They don't appear or are "not in stock" on the website, searched "wasp" and "AP .061".

If there is a "contact us" thing on the website, why not enquire there.  It may just have dropped out of the online system, but is available.

Hey Ken,

You can try getting the parts you need from Global Hobby: http://globalservices.globalhobby.com/part/211280.asp

Hope that helps
