Even if you are able to get the engine in, the prop will not clear.

The plane was not designed for that big of an engine.

Even a 1.40 FS is more than it needs.

I put a YS 110 in mine and it doesn't have quite the power I want/need to pull out of low hovers. Will nitroplanes make a 27% Ultimate?

That wasn't the question though...

MicroDat:

The YS 140 will fit just fine.
