comparative engine tests

[Len Ward]

Just finished reading B Winch's report on the Saito 40.Twas like a bikini,what it revealed was interesting but what it concealed was vital! ie whats the competition.Was it the best in the world or was it just false emotion he engendered? He made no reference to the other 40 4 strokes on the market.
By my count there are at least 2 contenders:the Enya 41,and the OS40.
All good makes and with a reputation in the box,but for starters the Enya is about £180,the OS approx £150,and the Saito a mere £126.
Having said that there are other factors which may guide a purchase such as dimensions [will it fit the cowl],weight,and ,last but not least,how do they compare in turning props of various sizes?
How about some comparisons?
For the record I have an Enya 41 bought from Steve Webb 7 years ago.Its been run,and run,and run,and it's still going strong.
Whats the experience of other modellers re engines??????

I`ve got varius 4 strokes and I can say hand on heart Saito`s are fantastic just fly and forget, use a good synthetic though.
