Rog, I have the .25FP and it is a very sweet engine. First flip starts are the norm. Get the fuel up to the carb, one turn choke (any more and it will flood), flip briskly a couple of times unchoked, then attach the battery and flip. Electric starters are completely superfluous for this engine.

That's pretty much true for the entire FP line of engines.
ROG, regarding props, I had a .25 FP on a Sig Kadet Senorita and the prop I always kept coming back to was the APC 9x5.
Yeah I had a .40 FP back in the 90's and it was a nice engine..but my "trainers" were less than friendly so I got out of the hobby..then back in I traded it for an enya .15 ,no I dont know why..but I've had good luck with the LA too ..BLE thanks thats the prop that came with the engine I already have,,not sure if this other one will come with a prop or not..one .25 is for a spad the other is for my bipe...Rog
