Hi,
Thanks for writing. Either the 50LX or 60LX will make the whiplash/dust planes move quite nicely.
Both engines are designed to run appx the same 17,500-19000 rpm range (ground peak rpm)
The 60LX does hold its own a bit more on the top end. Easily turns a 9x9, and we prefer to run the 8.8x9 Q-500 prop on it. With the RE version on a full pipe, one of the best props is the 8.8x9.25 clipped down to about 8.25" diameter.
The 50LX is more at home with the 8.8x8.75, and a clipped 8.8x9 - so it runs great, but you give up about one prop size.
Choice of engine comes down to what you might want to use it for later on :)
Bob
