I just came across this on OS's website. They've reintroduced the LA 25 with some minor mods. No blue on the case. RC of course, but the needle valve is angled back and up for easy access. The old LA 25 plastic backplate doesn't interchange with the new metal backplate. That's no loss. Price on the website is currently about $135. It's not clear if it's a website deal or just a short term discount.
They also have a new 25FXII. It's 2oz. heavier than the plain bearing 25. Seems to have a 3 port bypass system, just from looking at the case. Price is about $148.
Nice to see we can still get new engines if needed. They aren't at Tower though, gotta go intercontinental.
