I tend to think that a 14 year old is going to want to move on from the trainer fairly quickly. Why not purchase an engine that will continue to be useful on a second or third plane?
My thoughts exactly.
I have a few LA engines and they run great. I also have no problem using an air-bleed carb (Don't forget that even YS 4-strokes use Air-Bleed carbs)
I would just rather see someone spend an extra $10 and get an engine that they won't need to replace when they move up to a better plane
