Default What engine should I put on my 1/4 scale clipped wing cub?

I can't decide on what engine I should put on my Sig 1/4 scale clipped wing cub. I've never had a plane that took more then a .40, so I dont have a clue... It calls for a .60 - .90 2 Stroke or a .90 to 1.60 4 Stroke... I currently have 2 engines I can use, but im not sure if they will be enough power for it. I have a Saito .91 and a ASP .91... I think the ASP would be fine, but not sure about the Saito now. I dont have a lot of money to spend either, by the way... Let me know what you guys think!!! Thanks!

I've got an OS 160 twin in mine and it's a great match.

I have a YS91AC in a non-clipped light 1/4 Cub. It is more than enough but the Cub weighs like 12 lbs. What does yours weigh? The ASP may be enough.

Im not sure what it will weigh yet... I am still in the building stages of it, as you can see on my website. If I could find someone to trade me a 1.2 Enya or Saito for my .91, I would probably do that, but noone seems to want to. Anyway, I will keep my eyes open and see what i can find.

I have gotten an OS FS-120... I think it'll be great for the plane. Thanks for the input guys!
