Default engine choice

I need an engine .20 to .32 and I have narrowed it down to between a GWS .25 abc bb or an OS .25 la. The OS is about 6 dollars more and I just don't know if the GWS is a good engine or not so I don't know if saveing a few dollars is worth it in the long run... suggestions??
Thanks all

GWS, or GMS? What plane is it going into?

Before I'd get a GMS, I'd look at the Thunder Tiger line. I've got a .15 and .36 from TT. They both run great. The OS LA series is also a good value, although not particularly high powered.

If you're looking at the GMS25 then don't bother -- go for the GMS32. It's the same size and weight but has more power and you can always use the throttle to reduce that power if needs be.

Better check also MVVS; especially at those sizes the MVVS is in the price of GMS and has
the performance ... of OS.MAX if not better even for some cases.
Cheers,
Nick
