    Hi All:

    What abou opinions from people who have owned and flown these engines.  Are they worth the cost? Do they work any better than other engines in their price range etc.  I think that the new Enya .25, .30 and .35 stunt engines are in the same price range.  The Enya engines appear to be a better buy.   

     I have a Brodak .25 and it does quite well.  Is it any better than my older Super Tigre G 20/.23 engines? I doubt it as the ST engines are real sweethearts.  I have not tached either engine but will when my new tach arrives.

     Any comments or suggestions regarding these engines?

                                                                                                                      Tight lines,

                                                                                                                      Frank McCune

I'm not a pro or any kind of expert, but I have had one for 3 years and it has been just excellent. I broke it in exactly how it said to in the instructions. It is easy to start, the fuel is readily available ( I use Omega control line fuel w/ 2 oz of castor oil added per qt ) and it runs great- Nice 4 stroke break, plenty of power. When I heard they were back in stock, I bought another even though mine shows no signs of wear at all. Here's a video I made for another forum, from right after I installed it in the plane.
