Jeffman,

Part of your engine choice might be dictated by where you fly... I had an LA46 on my LT40... our field is surrounded by trees and you have to make a climbing turn right after take off. The LA46 made climb outs a little more exciting than was comfortable. Changing to a 46FX made take offs a little less exciting. If you fly out in Langley, you have a lot more wide open area to make much more gentle climbs (their club dues are a lot more than ours, but they have fewer trees!)

If the rain holds off over the weekend, why don't you come out and say hello... we usually fly from 8:00 until Noon or so before the Helis take over.
