I changed power on my Rebel that was powered by a FP-35 to a La 46. There is a lot to be said about mooooore pooower. I dont think you can beat this engine for userbility. HB~>

Lots-o-people say. The LA engines are not user friendly or have eratic runs. First hand there a good engine for the value. Super easy to manage. The LA-46 can be used in any 500-660 sq in plane and up to 60oz. There is such a wide range of props your can use from 10x6ew through 12x5. The engine needs very little break in. Leo just bolted his in a flew it. Good 4-2-4 right off the bat. Just make sure you add just a little extra oil. Even the LA-25 with a 10x4 apc is a wonderful engine. I'm pleased with all of my LA-40's that I use in my Cobra and Nobler.
With out these LA engines I don't know what I'd be using.... y1

Leo, I have an LA 46 in my P-39. Not only being lighter which helps the balance, but, it has just as much power as the OS 40 FS. DOC Holliday

I call this engine a dumb engine just the the super Tigres. It sure works for me and the Rebel is the one I should have had finished for VSC. How are you doing on theArctic Fox. Need pictures. See ya at VSC Looking forward to seeing how My Evo 36 is going to perform. This is looking like a good trip. H^^ H^^ H^^

I will be glad to meet you. I hope to meet a lot of people that participate on this forum. I have heard a lot about you and have read most of you thoughts on this forum. I will be there on the 17 th I think my plane is supposed to be there by 4:45. I am looking forward to the warm weather. Most of all I hope to be able to fly a lot while I am down there. H^^ H^^ H^^

I've had mixed luck with the LA46. I have 2 of them. One is a dog. Very uneven run and seems to be different, flight to flight. The other is a sweetheart. Very easy to manage and runs fine.

I have three LA .46 engines. All three run exceptionally well. One engine has several hundred flights on it with no problems.
My favorite combination is a Brodak Cardinal powered by the LA .46. APC 12/4 prop. Sullivan 4 oz. clunk tank with muffler pressure. 5% nitro with 11/11 oil.

Hey Marvin,
Leo will be real easy to spot. He is the guy that looks like he is flying inverted all the time. LL~ LL~

Paul, I think upside down and also build everything backwords but they usually work that way and if you put a sweet running 46 in the plane like I had in my Grinder for three years everything is hunky-dori, Right? The old flyer from the past, Leo -Hunky-dori, old term from the past- HB~> HB~> HB~>

Hey I still think this is a shot of Leo and that Nobler of his.

Flew the Rebel in the wind today and it handled it very well. I changed the venturie on the 46 and now have got better mileage. I am really beginning to like this plan and have had some people already asking for plans. They are on the way thanks. HB~>
