Hey mate i would also suggest running a 2 banger on your trainer. Personally im running a LA46 on mine which is about 6 years old and she runs great all the power you would need for a trainer. The question you have to ask is do you want to take this motor out for your next plane? If this is the case i would recomment the 46AX as this engine has some power to play with.'
oh u got it already, nice choices
My question for you, Jarrah, is on what grounds are you recommending the 2 stroke? (you might call it a 2-banger) On another thread you wrote that you JUST got your first 4-stroke...I think it was on the 19th of December.
On what basis do you chime-in and advise about that which you have no experience? I can only assume that you're very new to RC flying since you asked someone about putting a smoke system on your 50 size Funtana.
I've owned 2 and 4 stroke glow engines from .25 size up to 1.50 Saito (and that doesn't include my giant-scale gas stuff...which is pretty much all I'm flying these days). In my EXPERIENCE (of which you seem to have so very little) the 4-strokes are more trouble-free and reliable. This may not be the case for everyone, however my posting was from experience, while...well, I have no idea why noobs (as you called yourself in another thread) offer advice so authoritatively with little knowledge to offer such advice.
I used to spend a lot of time on RCU, then I finally got tired of 15 year old kids offering ridiculous advice and reading of people actually taking such advice seriously! I thought I'd return to RCU...glean some info, help the new guys...I guess I might be stuck at the unnamed giant website exclusively from now on.
God help good folks like MadRigger if yours is the advice they heed!
