It kills me when I hear thing like "from what I've seen" and then bash a product they've never owned. I have two LA's. One is from original trainer I've long since destroyed. It's on a 60" Kyosho PT19 and it flies great! Yea a 40LA. I have a 46LA on a Great planes AT6 with slimline sports muffler and it screams. Yes a LA. I don't have dead sticks. Yes I have had to put some locktite on back plate but that's it. These engines helped me get into the hobby and stay. Yes last engine I bought is the great OS FX 46.
