Amen! Different, but definately easier!
Pretty much any 2 stroke .40's will power this bird easily, even from grass. 4-strokes *sound* better, but the $$$ are higher no matter who's brand you buy. For what it's worth, the O.S. LA series motors are a great sport .40, as are the Magnum's. There's also about a million used K&B .40's floating around out there that'll run forever with a new ring & bearings installed.
Welcome back to modeling!
