Hi all,
After some delibration and a lot of good advice, I've decided that I would like to invest in the WM T-34. However, I am keen to outfit the aircraft with a .50ish sized engine. Either the O.S .50 SX or the Webra .50 GT. The reason why I am keen to get a good powerful engine like one of these is because I already have a .46 LA on my LT-40 and wanted an engine that would be able to provide more power when I am ready for more aerobatics (basically a more versatile engine). What does everybody think? After these two engines, the ST G-51, the O.S. .46 AX and the TT-.46 are my only options (less expensive also). I basically don't want to get an engine that is very similar to my .46 . Also, the SX is at the top end of my budget.
Thanks a lot,
P.

If you want to save a buck, go with the TT pro 46.
I have three of them. All run great.
I would never buy another OS ## LA.

Also, I fly a WM SS 40 with the TT Pro 46 on it. No problem with power. The engine has more than enough.

Hi P.
My second plane after my trainer was a Bridi Killer Kaos with a Rossi 60...I was clearly way out of my league and opted for the WM T-34, strapped a 46fx on it, proped it down to get a little more out of it and SHE SCREAMS..... it's extremelly capable.....You won't be sorry with the 46... Yes, maybe a little more than the others but if the ax is anything close to the fx, reliable, powerful, easy to tune, and quick breakin.... you can't go wrong with this combo.... I think you will find it much more snappy than the LA.. I do understand wanting something different as well as bugdet concerns: Whatever you choose of the 3, weight will not be an issue: W/ Muffler: OS46ax-17.2 oz. vs ST G51= 18.4 oz., vs TT 46-17.1 oz.
I still use the T-34 w/ 46fx to warm up with...over 80 flights on it- this plane is also excellent to test and polish your skills in very windy conditions if desired. Good Luck!
