Best .46 for floatplane
I am going to get a Great Planes Piper J-3 Cub .40, and put a float kit on it.
What .46 engine would you recommend? Thanks, -Dan

RE: Best .46 for floatplane
I agree, I have an OS .46 FX on my Ready Floatplane. It works great, has had water in it at times from failed float attempts on my old trainer and it still runs great. It's really a great ball bearing motor. I start it by hand it usually starts on the first or second flip.

RE: Best .46 for floatplane
The first 3 replies to your question recommending OS are 100% right on. [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif] O.S. can't be beat for reliability, which is your #1 concern when float flying.
