Does anyone know if an OS 15 LA will fly the flite streak? Or should I stick with at least a 25 size?

Much has been written about this setup on other forums (some pro, some con) but everyone who has tried it (including me) swears by them. So much so we have driven up the prices of used examples on eBay to the stratosphere. But, you can buy a junker 20 FP and still get replacement parts through the distributor to bring them back to new specs.
The 2nd choice would be the LA 25 engine. Note that Brodak will be releasing a 25 engine which will be a smaller version of their Brodak 40.
I've also flown a Fox 35 on my kit built Flite Streaks and they are satisfactory - but the FP 20 is perfect.

I am running an Enya 35 on the original Flite Streak and have no problems with vibration. It does go fast but it is a good trainer and agood slow combat plane. 60 foot lines. Also have a super streak, 47 in span scratch built from Jan Rummery plans. Silk and doe finish. 60 foot lines with a fox 35. Areal solid plane and very smooth. Hope the picture shows up on this post.
