I'd like to think this is good news...
For anyone that might be interested:
The Sanye engine line production has been rebooted, it seems, and with a few exceptions it seems the entire gamma of 2 and 4 stroke glow engines are being produced again, apparently under the label "SC". Unknown if the other labels (ASP and Magnum) will be marketed as well.
Gossip is that the core-team (whatever that might mean) of the earlier Sanye production has made a restart using the original tooling, so parts should be 100% compatible with existing ASP/Magnum/SC engines.
Whatever one's opinion on chinese engines, at least it is a nice thing to see a brand with a known design return to the market.

Good news!!
Hope the electric fliers can go back to glow powered flight again! So the hobby can survive being a hobby and not a child´s play as it is today with all the ready built foam planes.

This is EXCELLENT news!

It IS for real!
SC Two Stroke Glow (formerly ASP) – Just Engines
SC Four Stroke Glow (formerly ASP) – Just Engines
Taking inflation into account, prices have gone down rather than up: I paid a touch over 1600 Euro for my radial about 6 years ago, current price is about 1730,- The increase is only roughly half of the inflation: 1600 corrected for 6 years of inflation would have been just shy of 1900 euro.
So it's not a bad deal either.

My own ASP engines (I currently have 9 in regular use) have proven to be extremely durable and reliable despite being run way outside their operational parameters.

My Feedback: (1)
my 180^ ran fine on the ground, I broke it in on the stand, had a bit over an hour on it before I flew it. it ran fine in the air. but once it flew for a few minutes it would not come down to an idle. adjusting the Carb didn't help.
on that last flight the engine just flamed out and it went in (OS FS plug). the case cracked open. it's casting was very soft. I don't think I had more than 7 flights on that engine.
for another side of Magnum engines.
"Weston UK" at one time sold modified Magnum 4-stroces, they came with a very short Intake Manifold. I have always wondered how well they performed.

)The Saito FA-180 now costs only about $45 more than the Sanye 180.
The Saito FA-180 is a very easy engine to handle.
