Default Help Choosing an Engine!

Hey guys,

I just bought a Hobbico Super Star 40 trainer, and am thinking about upgrading my 8-year-old tower hobbies .40 engine.

The guys at my club all really like OS and recommend OS .46 AX, but it's pricey at $125 (Cad), it's powerful at 1.65hp though
The OS LA is only $80, but it's also only 1.2HP

Super Tiger GS-45 ABC w/Muffler is also $80, but packs 1.45hp, 20% more than the equivalent priced OS.

What should I do? I would eventually like to put floats and ski's on this plane, so I'm pretty sure my old .40 won't be able to handle that.

Thanks! [8D]
