Seriously though, people bash companies to much on the Internet. There is no need for 3 responses back2back saying the exact same thing, which is false. I have seen these, and ran a few. It doesn't seem as fast because it is smoother, and not as snappy. I personally saw a Reedy .21, Nova +4, OS Speed nose to tail down a 90-110ft front stretch, and they didn't seperate.

If you can not get this great fairly cheap motor to hang with novas and os', then maybe you should ask for break-in assistance or tuning assistance on your next mil.

I totally agree with you, the window for tuning is really sensitive. An OS motor is so easy to tune it takes some skill coming over to the Reedy. I was an OS motor guy before coming to the Reedy and it was a challenge at first. After spending 3 straight days with playing with needles, pipes, plugs I have felt the motor really wake up. After getting to know the little guy I could never go back now. The power is extremely smooth and even running hotter than normal the internals sure do look damn good! I have 6 gallons on mine and its just getting better and better.
