My trainer plane is a SuperStar Select 40. I learned on it last year using a 40LA engine. This engine proved "adequate" for the type of flying I needed to do to learn the basics. It was easy to start, and because it wasn't very powerful, it forced me to learn how to make long takeoff runs and plan my landing approaches more carefully. If you want a little more power you could also go with the 46LA. Good Luck!
