Sounds like a good 100 would be the proper choice. If landing, fuel consumption and lightweight are of concern, any modern 100 would be perfect. I have a K170F in mine. GPS'd at 276 mph. For me, it is perfect but most people would be perfectly happy with a 120 or 140. I definately notice the residual thrust on landing but it is still a ***** cat to land. Just takes a bit more time to slow down.
Mine flys very well with the k170, At Hamburg jet rally everybody thought I have a P-120 because I was just cruisin around the skies, I wasn't pushing it too much. I also had the best landing
Yeah I hear ya. It is always fun to do a low, slow dirty pass, pour on the coals and accelerate vertically. A buddy of mine has a UF on order and he is going with a K140F. We probably won't be able to tell much difference straight and level. A truly great airframe.
