i'm going to buy [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGGV7&P=0]this[/link] engine and i'm gonna get some fuel and plugs with it also, i'm just wondering if i should get the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXA306&P=0]expensive[/link] stuff or if the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJC55&P=0]cheap [/link] stuff is fine, and also what would be good plugs for it, are the tower power plugs fine or should i get better ones
thanks, Austin
For $22.00 more you will be much better off with either of these engines. The LA is a bushed bearing engine and uses an air bleed carb. These are ball bearing engines and are 2 needle carbs. They have more power than a 46LA and will be a lot more useable on other planes.

I also second the OS #8 plugs. I have tried a variety of other plugs (Fox, McCoy, Tower, etc ) and found the OS #8 delivered more power, a better idle, better transition and longer plug life.
