- Opinion seems pretty much split on the OS-40 FP ($70) vs. OS-46 SF ($140)
- for a first .40 size trainer plane. I suggest the OS-40 FP. This engine
- is plenty strong enough for a .40 size trainer, and is 1/2 the price.
-
- Please consider that your first plane will crash. The engine is going to
- eat dirt. Why risk a nice engine on it? Your trainer plane and engine are
- for learning how to fly. Included in this is learning how to set the fuel
- mixture on the engine. Many beginners run their engines too lean and wreck
- them. Why risk a nice engine?
