Was a good engine, a ***** to start though. THe compression is very high. I realy likes it Bang for bucks against all the rest it wins.

My Fantom .27 runs strong, but its not proven yet. It just hasnt been out long enough to know how reliable they are, or even get a general concensus really. If you want a motor right now, id go with the Picco .26, the Wasp .26, or the XTM 24.7 Pro. And of course, RB probably makes the best .28 available.
