As I recall that engine was designed for target drones, no? Hopefully the criteria and specs would be upgraded a bit for use as a backup engine. Which begs the question: why would you ever overhaul one anyway? ... or should I say that the only time one of them needs to get overhauled is if your Gunny has trained some really bad marksmen ... Since most of your recruits practiced up to 60 hours per week as preteens on the x-box, prior to enlistment (who else really enlists these days?) one may reasonably doubt that any such drone has ever been missed, nor any of the el-cheapo engines has ever needed to be overhauled ;-)
