Herr Little Extra and OS LA 15?
A good combo? I am looking for a small field plane that would be a pleasure to take out every time. And is this a good motor I cant afford the 15CV so this looked nice and cheap

RE: Herr Little Extra and OS LA 15?
the OS. LA engines are quite good but you must remember they do not have a main bearing but only a bronze bush so life is limited compared to the other OS bearing models. keep your fuel mix at no lower than 20% oil and try not to use a starter when starting up as this puts front load on the front engine bushing and forces the crankshaft back to the backplate. run this engine in correctly and do what i have mentioned and this little engine will last many years.
