Default Next problem... Engine for Tiger Trainer 40

Hey up to all...

I'm just starting out in rc aircraft after having had a couple of flights at the local club on buddy.

The reason for my post is that after finally deciding what plane I want, Thunder Tiger Trainer 40, I now need to decide which engine to put in it.

It took me ages of trawling websites, forums etc to finally decide which plane and I just wanted the opinions of you guys to help speed things up / check I'm making the right choice.

I've narrowed it down to the following:

OS 40LA - Bit underpowered - £53
OS 46FX - Bit pricey - £99
TT 46 Pro - Fairly pricey - £72
MDS 48 Pro - Heard MDS are quite cheap / unreliable - £40
Irvine 53 - Again, fairly pricey - £79
SC 46A - Don't know much about this one - £51

So whats your opinion on the above in terms of price / power / reliability and quite importantly whether it fits in my chosen plane!

Thanks,

(Once I've figured out which engine to buy I've then got to start thinking about transmitters, receivers, servos. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!)
