I guess I'm just being a little hyper sensitive because of how things deteriorated on that thread last week lol! In any case we're all good

Lol, no worries, I knew that you guys had an early flight out and figured I'd just just get it when we bumped into each other again at the worlds. Have a safe flight over, see you in a couple of days!

Very diversified engine list in the top 10 at the worlds. This should permanently end any conflict about which brand is the "best". The hands down choice for which engine is the best would be the one that didn't flame out and gave you a chance to win regardless of price. Case closed!!

SO anything but a Reedy?? Oh, wait Tebo's flamed near the end as well. I don't know what happened on Maifield ro Tebos flame outs and woudl be inclined to believe casing a jump or having the pipe covered caused both. If you run an RB then you will have aluminum shaving in your fuel tank..

hahaha they must all be good engines just to make it to the worlds

there are a thousand reasons an engine will flame out: tune, plug, fuel, landing on the flywheel, exhaust seals, ...., ......, etc all of which have nothing to do with which brand motor you have, all are winners in the right hands !!!

when i first started, if you didn't have an RB, GRP or OS you were the odd man out, then nova got big and now there are tons of great engines out that it all comes down to someone's preference and how much they can spend.
