RE: O.S. 46LA vs 46FX. For Trainer & 2nd.plane
Tower Hobbies 46 is a good engine at a reasonable price, as are the Thunder Tiger and the Evolution 46's. I've also heard some very good things about the MECOA 46.
I would suggest not buying the 46LA only because it seems about half the people that have them, have trouble with them.
I would also stay away from MDS and GMS engines. Very many people complain about them.
Good luck with your engine, whatever you buy, and welcome to RCU!
