AWM2 is great. I suppose that the other manufacturers' engines are on par,
but it's mindbogling - I mean, I find the AN1x confusing enough as it is. :)

I don't know... maybe they were too early? Yamaha products hardly ever live
longer than two years, or perhaps even less. So perhaps the AN1x was already
'doomed' before the market really cought on. I don't know.
