Crap. I just got more engines. Why does this keep happening...
An older guy was getting out of the hobby due to health reasons and it was mentioned in the club newsletter how he intends to get rid of his things. Well one phone call and a $200 check later and I now own all his engines. Pretty sure he was more interested in just getting rid of them than actually making any money. Most of the about three dozen were old and very gummy 20-60 size Japanese 2 cycles which I will probably just sell off since I have no interest in doing anything with them but... there were a few jewels. Starting with an OS 120 pre-surpass. This one's a definite keeper though I have no immediate application in line for it.

These two I'm also gonna keep. Another Saito 91! This one's much cleaner than the one I already had. In fact I think neither of these engines really have any runtime on them. Both were still in their boxes. The other is an OS 65 LA. Generally, my sentiment towards the LA series is that they're junk and should be avoided. But the 65s are different for me. Every one I've had has been a strong runner. This one has monster compression and great TDC pinch so I think it'll run good.

There were also a couple of these old dinky free flight engines. No idea what the hell I'll do with this either. According to some magazine articles for this thing it put out about 25 watts. By comparison a hot 049 will put out about 75. What does one do with 25 watts???
