Default OS LA or Tower 46 Engine for Trainer?

Ok…I’m planning on dabbling with planes again. I flew a trainer many, many moons ago a few times and have recently decided to re-ruffle the feathers again. My first step is to start off cheap to get the feel again.

I’m considering the Tower Hobbies trainer 40 but am undecided about the power plant. I’m looking at either the Tower 46 or OS 46 LA and need some input from the experts. I’d consider other engine options that are in the same price range as well. I also have in mind to make a float-plane with this trainer in the future. So I’m wondering if I may need to opt for more power or will one of these motors be enough.

Thanks,
-Will
