Rick asked:
Out of curiosity, does the LT-25 really need the power of a .40, or is it just convienent for going up fast?
No..... it does not need a .40. The plane is light and it would be fine with a .25.
I was only using my old .40 LA because they are light in weight for a .40, and the LA is weak in power anyway. Many pilots have old LA's stored away after moving on to bigger engines. I just thought by posting about the LT-25 / .40 LA, that there would be some options out there that fellas might be interested in. The little 4 stroke sounds fine. I know a fella in our club that also had an LT-25 with a OS .40 4 stroke in it. He sold the plane without the engine. ...lownslo...
