I'm getting ever so close to starting the fuselage on my LT-40.
Sig recommends a .40 size engine for it, but I've done a little research and it sounds a bit on the weak side.

I would like something close to 1.5 bhp.
I'm looking into buying used to keep the cost down. I've know about OS 46fx, but since I'm looking for used, this engine is hard to find.

I've found a used Webra Speed 40 ringed motor for sale. How are these engines? I can't find any specs on it. Sounds like it has more power than your avg sized .40 though.

What other good engines for this plane am I missing?
Fill me in please.

Thanks

Hi fellow Canuck, a Thunder Tiger Pro 46 would be real nice as well a OS 46. Both very good reliable!!!!! motors. Great for the LT40

101,when I built my lt-40 several years ago,I put a Enya 45cx on it and plenty of power.The webra should fly it just fine,especially if this is your first plane.You can find used engines each and every day on E-Bay.I have in the last year bought over 30 engines this way,altough about 28 of these were new.I would rather know my engines history.They also are selling new engines at for the most part,reasonable prices.You might want to check it out.

check engine specs at www.mecoa.com several brands

can also check swap shop at www.ndrcc.com there was a trainer listed with an os 46 fx sold with plane or seperate.

If you plan to convert the engine and radio gear to another plane after You get some stick time, You may want to go with the OS 46 FX

Good luck to You and Enjoy

Man, you guys are fast.

How about the Super Tigre GS-45?

I cant help You on that one, but I have had a few smaller S T engines and they were pretty good as a sport engine. reliable and fair power, Playing with different props also helps on the power.

I have a Supertigre 40 on my LT 40. I have a blast with it. The plane will fly with a 25, but only fly.
