Status: offline 		Hi Guys,

This is my second Top-Flite Giant P-51 that I am putting together. On the first one, I installed a 3W50i, but felt there was a lot of vibration. Anyway, I have a brand new Saito FG36 with me. Do you think there will be enough power? I remember someone installing an OS BGX1 but would love to hear some suggestions.

Thanks

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_1158439/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm

I am on my second TFGS P-51. Using a G-62 for power. Our field is at 3700 ft above sea level. I doubt the Saito FG36 would have enough power here. It might be OK at a lower altitude, but not really good. Just my guess, I do not really know.

I have an OS BGX on a GS P-40 weighting about 16 lbs. It pulls the P-40 around fairly well. At a lower altitude it would probably do OK on the heavier P-51.

Brian

Thanks for the link and the pictures and information.

I'll definitely consider other options before installing any engine.
