Yea,I was thinking along the lines of a 55AX or a .65 Saito.
The .40 FP is an excellent motor in the right plane. It weighs just barely more than a .25. I have bought up a bunch of used ones dirt cheap and planning on putting a couple on a Twinstar. The one off of my PT 40 is now on a Primo .25 and pulls it around nicely. Especially after setting around in basements almost 30 years!
