OPJOSE,
I know you posted 2 or 3 years ago on this forum (so I'm not sure if you even check this anymore), but I was curious if you could tell me more about how your LA46 worked out in the Model Tech Extra 300? I actually just finished building that exact combination and was wondering if there is anything important I need to know before flying it. It seems like it should be pretty quick. Have you ever clocked yours or do you have an idea of how fast it'll go? The balancing worked out almost perfect and I'm excited to get it in the air.

The LA .40 and .46 are terrific engines. And I understand the OP's point about already having one and putting it to good use. Yes, it will comfortably fit into and power most .25 - .32 models and provide a pleasurable experience while doing it.

What do I think of the LA engines? I now have six or so NIB LA engines of various sizes. Don't tell anyone, but these engines make terrific Diesel conversions too when using a Davis Diesel conversion head (Hi Bob!).
