i have a .61 supertiger i am wanting to put it in a aw edge 540 .46-.61 will that be enough motor to do vertical manuvers? and what kind of futaba servos are recommended for it? will a pitts muffler fit on that plane ANY SUGGESTIONS?

My newly finished one has an OS 61FX on it but it will be spring before I can fly it; I can tell you there is no need for a Pitts type muffler.
The engine is canted to allow the stock muffler to nestle underneath, and they've built in a "tunnel" into the fwd fuselage area to accomodate the muffler. Now, that does require cutting away a lot of the bottom of the cowl; if you want to use a Pitts muffler there is room under the cowl...but they have already mounted the blind nuts for the engine mount with that offset. To use a Pitts muffler you would need to change that setup so that the engine sits at 90 degrees and the pitts muffler hangs directly underneath.

I fly JR so can't help you on a Futaba servo but there's no need for the top end, high dollar digitals on this model...I run JR Sport ST126's which have 126 oz-in of torque and run about $35 each. I'm sure Futaba offers something in between their competition servos and the cheapy standards...that would be all you need.

60 size plane, Futaba 3010 on 6 volt should do nice,, Of course there are always they fancy digitals if money is no object.
You could probably do with less on ailerons, But for the elevator and rudder I wouldn't go any less Of course throttle any standard will do.
