Which 4 stroke for 8 lbs Pitts
What engine would you recommend for an 8.5 lb. Pitts model. Plane has 50 inch wingspan, 750 square inches of wing area, and I would like to use a 4 stroke. All I've ever used before were 2 strokes, and I am not interested in unlimited vertical or 3d capabilities- just scale aerobatic performance.
Engines considered:
YS 63
YS 91
Saito 80
Saito 91
Saito 90 Twin (maybe too heavy, but looks and sounds neat!)
Saito 100 Twin (ditto)
Any recommendations?

Try the YS110
It has the same weight and dimensions as the 91 and will give you unlimited vertical. You may not need it, but most folks find quite quickly that it never hurts to have it. You never have to push the throttle that open if you do not want to.
