Default RE: 1/2A trainer anyone?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Yes; I was surprised to see that the Norvel .074 actually puts out more HP at a higher RPM than the OS .10LA while weighing a good deal less. Anyhow, figure the extra weight of the .10 might be useful since I remember reading an earlier post that indicated the LST needed considerable weight on the nose to be added for it to maintain its designed CG.

I already have a .15 LA and am comfortable with it - starts real easily by hand too. Figured the .10 would be similar and a safer bet than getting something unknown.

Sadly, prices and support for anything except OS are a little silly over here.

btw has anyone used an enya .09 IV-TV? Think I can get one on clearance and it does weigh a little less than the OS .10LA. Dunno what its like in use though.
