Status: offline 		Come on you guys! I have a great planes little toni, what engine should I put in it.
I want to go fast with it, even thou this model is very stream line it would be a fast plane on its 0wn? Any way to those guys that have had one & still got it what do you recommend?
I read if you mount a 2 stroke in it you have to hack the cowl up a bit. But if a 4 stroke is mounted to it its not quite so bad in the cowling hacking?
If 2 stroke is recommended what size, If a 4 Stroke Is recommended what size,
& Is there anythink that needs to be altered, prior putting this model together.
Did get recommended to use a Dub Jet 90LX Engine?
Your Thoughts Would Be Great.
Thank's

If you use the bission muffler with the two stroke you don't have to cut much of the cowl away. Friend if mine has a saito 125 on his, he had to cut almost nothing with the saito. For me a model like this sounds great with a two stroke. The jett 90 would be mind numbing

Motor works great. I have the battery pack right up in the nose as far as I can get it so it balances the plane.

Status: offline 		Hi I have a Super Tiger Ringed 90, But I read that puting in a 2 stroke into the little toni that you have to hack the cowl up trying to fit the engine In? Did you use the standard muffler?
What do you think about installing a 91 4 stroke would it be fast? less hacking 0f the cowl I beleive?
Thanks.

Status: offline 		you do have to cut the cowl a little bit at the bottom but nothing real noticable. RC universe has a review on this airplane, you should read it.

Status: offline 		Well now I'm really getting confused with engines, what say I was thinking about Installing A 0S FX 91 2 stroke, 0r a 0S 91 4 stroke Which one of these engines would be faster.
I think I would stay with 0S for there reliabilty. Your comments please Thanks.

Status: offline 		If I use A 91 0S FX 2 stroke, would I be better to use a pitts style muffler 0r use the standard muffler that comes with the engine. Dont want to hack the cowl up fitting in the muffler. If I use a pitts style muffler will I lose power than using the standard muffler that comes with the engine? Thanks.

Status: offline 		I have an OS 91 FX 2 stroke in mine, and the aircraft flies at a very scale speed. It is also still very nimble as I have done loops, rolls, rolling circles, snaps, and knife edge flight. Vertical is very impressive. The only problem is if you use the stock muffler you will need to cut out some of the firewall. I used a pitts muffler on mine and it looks amazing!

Status: offline 		Hi there Flyboy 23e
Your plane looks very nice, did you change the standard colour scheme on your little toni, or are these a new colour scheme put out by Great Planes. Yes I am thinking about a 91fx engine in mind, do you think you loose any power by not using the standard muffler?
I read someone else has installed a 120 ax in his, I wonder if he still had to hack around with the cowl fitting on the muffler?
Like to know more about Fitting in the 120 ax, prior to purchasing a engine for the plane?
Thanks

Status: offline 		OK, let’s think out of the box for one second here. Let’s say we mounted the OS 1.20 AX inverted with a Slim-line wrap around Pitt’s muffler, and a cline fuel regulator so the fuel won’t pour out the carburetor. Mounting the engine inverted wound eliminate the poor cooling characteristics that the cowl has, and give good access to the needle valve and fuel lines. Also, one would not have to hack the crap out of the cowl, except for the bottom . Only draw back I can see is extra parasite drag at high speeds. But I think that would be compensated by the increase in Horse Power. Just a thought!!!!
