I bet deep down Husky was too. Problem is you ask 100 chainsaw users which design they prefer and the vast majority will say inboard. They base their decision on how easy it is to change chains, how easy it is to deal with a pinched stuck bar/chain, how easy it is to change sprockets etc. They don't know the real benefits of an outboard design that include seperating heat from the case/saw, having two rotating masses apart that male the saw balance when turned, being able to make a smaller more compact saw, better chip removal etc. Some of the best saws ever made by both the major 2 had outboards like 090, MS200t, Contra & many more. The way an engineer thinks compared to the paying consumer is very different, but guess which one gets the final say....
