Which 4 stroke engine for the yellow World's Model P51??
I've got the Rockwell International (yellow) P51 (a la Bob Hover) on order and want to put in a Saito 4 stroker? What is a good size engine? I can't imagine a Mustang with a 2 stroke...

Engines
Which one, the big one or the little one???
I'm putting a Saito 1.80 in my big one.
Had a OS 46 FX and a K&B Screamin 48 in the small ones.
I would recomend a Saito 72 for the small one. I had one in a Lanier 21 Century Corsair and it's a great little engine.
Then again, there's the guy's who race the small one's with YS 120's in them and OS 91's.

p-51
I have the Saito 72 in my Miss America. It is a perfect match. I think the 91's are ok too, but in my opion it is too much engine. My 72 has very good vertical, plenty of speed,can pull the biggest loops. The best prop I have found for this combo is an APC 13x6.

OS .70 in mine, 12x7 APC prop. Plenty of speed and it balanced perfectly, with no extra weight or futzing with battery placement.
