Go with the 2.1 Moki
I had a strong ys 120 in my H9 cap but it wasn't enough power. I went to the Moki 1.8 and it has pretty unlimited verical but will barely hover. It may not be up to full power yet as I've only run about a gallon and a half of fuel through it. Mine came out to 14.5 lbs. I think I would go with the Moki 2.1 for the few extra $'s. The 1.8 fits totally within the cowl except for a very small portion of the bottom of the cylinder head, it's not even noticable when sitting on the ground . I also put in a bigger tank since these engines use alot of fuel.

I have a 1/4 cap 232 with a Moki 2.1. The model had a ST2300 but not enough vertical climb. Not sure of the weight of my model is 6Kgs. I use no nitro and has plenty of power. You might try 15% or 20% nitro, this will give you enough power for a 1/4 plane I think. I follow the instructions from the factory which stipulates NO NITRO. My friend has one with a 40cc Petrol and says it-s perfect.
