Thanks for the reply, I did see the video. Right now my FG-90 is in a Top Flite P-47. I'm still 50-50 if I leave it in the P-47 and put the biggest twin 2-stroke for the Bearcat. I purchased a nice aftermarket exhaust for the Saito, but cant get it on the P-47. That is another reason to put the Saito in the Bearcat. Decision, decisions.

I have a FG-84 in a topflite jug. I was going to pull it off to put on a bates corsair whenever I get around to building it. the only thing I didn't like was having to modify the cowl to make it fit on the jug. I would put the radial in the bearcat if I were you.

If you consider the 88cc engine, i would also go with a 4 blade prop. One of my club member put a dle-85 in his topflite jug and it was a hand full. Take offs gave him hell with the torque and it wouldn’t slow down on landings. He switched to a 4 blade prop and the plane is much more predictable and still hauls butt in the air.

I built and currently fly my Ziroli Bearcat with a DA 100 in it.
It is very tame on takeoffs and landings.
I now would not consider anything less than the 100cc engine and will be at the Fon Du Lac warbird meet in a couple weeks.
I believe I have 1 pound of lead on the nose.
