I know there are more powerful 40 size engines around and I plan to get a TT 46 pro for the Spadstick I am building but the LA has done what I wanted,provide reliable power for training.
IMO thats what it was designed for.... i had one in my trainer... it did its job well... Ive had 3 LA's, one had probs one hasn't run yet and one is still good... but i have a FP probably twice the age of the LA and it runs better than it... and the LAes is in no way comparable to the FXes... but i don't think that was the point of that line ... IMO it was made for a trainer and not to be to powerful and have a good price all at the same time..
