As has already been pointed out to you, Bostig primarily develops and sells the kit/package, EXCEPT the engine. Read their site. Use simple factual information rather than "thoughts", "presumptions". It's probably THE most beautiful aspect to the Bostig development .... the easily-replaceable-world-motor. And $300.00 is a not uncommon engine replacement cost for these. bob |
