Default ESM P51b Engine Help
I picked up a ESM P51b last night in a trade, and here is my problem. I know the DLE 30 and the PTE36 are amazing engines for this plane. But I really love the sound of the 4 stoke saito enignes. I have a CAP 231 with a 150 on it and love the sound of that thing.

I try to get out every week and fly but that normally doesnt happen so I would really love to get 5-8 flights on this plane a month.

So would a 180 be an ok option on this plane? or is a 150 enough to really fly this plane well? Or should I just make the jump to gas and get a pte36 or a dle30?

Thanks for everyone input.
