I've been thinking about getting one for my TT Pro .36 . I was wondering if you think this would be enough engine for this plane?
ksflyer, how much did your extra weigh with the 40LA?

A Pro36 equipped model will weigh exactly the same, but make considerably more thrust... I was flying my 4lb Uproar 40 with a TT GP-42 (similar to an 40LA in terms of weight, but a bit more powerful) and saw a dramatic difference when I stuck the Pro-36 up front. I'm guessing that if the plane is sub-4.25lbs, you'll likely see unlimited vertical capability with the 36.
