Look for a Sig Wonder or a Lanier Shrike 15.Both are not currently in production, but can still be found.
With a .15 La, it will not be a missile but will still can be exciting!

Got .15 la lying around and want to know if there are any speed designs for it.

The only problem is that the LA .15 ain't exactly a go-fast engine. But it will fly an airplane smartly.

They'll run harder with the OS control line venturi. I've compared the LA to the CVA and there is very little difference with timing...actually I could not see any difference. The Q200 model and a 7x5 prop sound like a good plan.

RE: I have a .15la and wonna go fast
a stock La should turn a apc 7x5 at 18,500-18,800. with some engine work 20,000 is not to far away.
I have a old fp 15 on a 220sq" mes 109 and it does 119 with muffler with no dive. all the guys at the club hate it when i take it up against there bigger planes and i only use 2 ounces of fuel

RE: I have a .15la and wonna go fast
I have flown the small Pica P-51 and Shrike 10 with a .15
The Pica was a little faster but much harder to land. The Shrike flies real nice. To make it real fast though, it needs more engine like a .25

I just saw a .15LA on a Sig Wonder. With a 7x6 prop it was cooking!

my first wonder had a 15FP on it very agile but not very fast looked fast tho.
my last wonder had a .15 CVwas a lot faster.
LA is light but not a speed motor.
sell it buy the CV or an old Conquest .15 (Cox or K&B)

I wonder what that wonder would do with a .46 on it....

Nose into the turf.[:@] just too much weight to balance the short airframe.
I have had .25 FP & .25 FX in them the FX moved out.
A friend had OS .32SX it was a burner too.

RE: I have a .15la and wonna go fast
Wonders are awesome with a 32SX ... hehehehe ... I hear at times the engine can go faster than the plane ... you see the firewall and tank trailing along too!
