It sure matters to me. The mazda rotary is about the only auto

Dave, you missunderstand me. What I meant was, whether it was the
engine, psru, fuel pump, carburator, or ignition system that failed,
the end result is the same thing: a dead stick landing.

It doesn't matter to the pilot that the engine is running just fine if
the prop isn't connected to the engine anymore.

The point is to use something that will last. Preferably something
already tested. Or at least that's my attitude. I don't want to be
somebody's test pilot, I just want to fly.
