RE: prop
 

My first step would be to take the fishing weight off the plane and install just about anything else. The LA is fine for a slow trainer but worthless as a speed engine. Look for a good 46FX of something along that line if you really want to go fast, maybe a JETT, ROSSI, ect.[8D]

RE: prop
 

LA 40 and speed is an oxymoron, but, try an APC 8x8 . You may need a lot of room to take off, but it should do close to 120 if you can get it airborne. Make sure the engine is well broken in first, it's gonna turn close to 16000 rpm in the air, probably about 13-13500 on the ground.

I agree, toss the LA. Try an MVVS with the tuned silencer. The 49 should get that puppy hummin. It will pull it quite quicly. Just be sure to reinforce the wing and tail feathers.
