I can tell you my opinion. Beware though, Crashem sent me a PM saying that I was a 2 month expert. So my advice may be warranted useless.

But..

I got the LT 40 and I like it a lot. I can't speak for the other plane. I have absolutely no complaints with it except that it will not roll that easy. You have to baby it with the elevator.

I got the Evo .46 NT. I am very happy with it. Then again it is the only engine I've had so I have nothing to compare it to. But I can tell you that is more than plenty enough engine for me with the LT 40. It MOVES!

I got a Futaba 4exa. I am very happy with it. The price is right for a computer radio. I would at least check it out.

The LT 40 was an ARF, but it was still fun to put together. The wings and fuse were build and covered. The rest has to be put together.

Again, this info can be warranted useless because I have only been in the hobby for a few months...

Good Luck,

Wings
