Default Really need help with plane selection!!!!



I am moving from my electric high wing to a mid wing sport in the 60 size range. I have already purchased a Magnum .91 4stroke to be delivered today.
I generally speaking prefer to go as large as possible in a plane, just cause I like bigger planes!! Now I am really interested in the Seagull Edge 540 60 plane, and the specs for this plane say that a .91 to 1.25 4 stroke is right for this plane. But from what I am reading the .91 4 stroke will only "barely" fly this plane. I do not need to be able to do all the 3D stuff but I do want the ability to come close to hovering..... I have read where people say they can hover with this set up (15x4 prop)but only on a good day can they pull verticaly out of a hover. I am going back and forth between the Seagull edge 540 60(68" span)and the Pheonix 330s (64" span). But I am hearing that the .91 4 stroke may be slightly under powered for even the smaller Pheonix plane??? Anyone with experience with either of these planes with a .91 size 4 stroke please shed some light for me so I can make a good decision in the plane I buy...



Thanks Loads for any help!!!!</p>
