Tower Trainer Engine choice
I have a evolution 46 that came with my plug and play cub that i never cranked and replaced it with a saito... so for my Tower trainer which i use to teach my friends I could either put the new evolution on there or sell it and get a different engine. I dont want to spend more than 70.00 bucks so I was looking at the TT GP 42 I have a 46 pro and love it, I like easy to handle engines that dont give me trouble, is the one or are there others? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello HitecMan. In all honesty it is what you want out of the plane. I have a Magnum 46 on mine and it fricking screams with a 10 X 6 on it. So I put a 11 X 6 and it flys great. It is currently turning 12,000 rpms on it and idles at 2100 rpms. The Magnum 46 is only $69 but if you have and EVO 46 throw that on it. It will be plenty for the plane considering it is the 40 size Tower.
