Don't know if it was too little to be big or too big to be little?

The LA series caught a lot of grief back in the late 90's when they first came out. You never heard such whining.

A few years ago I had a gaggle of old 30 year old control line models I wanted to sell. So I sold them all to one guy. Among other planes, there were two Magician profile models with OS MAX 35 engines.

He recovered the two planes and put a OS 40LA C/L engine on one. He flew them both at the field a few days later. The one with the LA 40 flew circles around the one with the OS MAX 35 engine. So the LA's were more powerful than some of the older engines
