I didn't want one. I don't even have a plane for one. But I got one.
I was returning from Delta Park yesterday and stopped at the local hobby shop on the way home, as I normally do when I'm on that side of town. The shop has a new owner, and they're re-doing the whole shop. Nothing in the place does anything for me, but a little orange battery box in the display case had "Saito 45 - $80" scribbled on the side. So I asked to see it, and inside was a relatively clean FA-45. Like I said, I don't need another, and was not looking for another. If anything, the only engine I was kinda thinking about would be a Saito FA-30. But looking in my wallet, I had two twenties, so I offered the shop owner $40 for it. She said, "I'll take it. The motor has been in the shop for six months and I'm ready for it to be gone".
So, now there's a FA-45 sitting on the test stand waiting for the temperature to drop outside. I don't know what I'll do with it. But now I have a fourth four cycle engine. What shall I do? What shall I do?
