I learned to fly with a LT40 powered with an OS 46FX. It flew beautifully with that combo. I later put an OS 52 four stroke on another LT40; and liked that even better. It gave the LT40 plenty of pull without adding too much weight. A few times I was able to trim mine out to where I could control altitude with throttle alone. Just a plain joy to fly.
Was this a mistake? Would a bigger 4 stroke fit and be better? I like the sound and power of a 4 stroke but are they a lot more difficult to deal with and maintain? I had a OS 40 before and never had a moment of trouble. I'd hate to trade a cool sound for a pain in the fanny. Thanks for the thoughts.
