Hi Joe

You are way over the top on your power requirements for the Hurricane. That model is only 62 inches and will be perfectly fine with a Laser 80 or at a push a Laser 100. Also don't bother with a 3 blade prop as they are inefficient and you wont be able to get near a scale size anyway. I also tend to shoot for a pitch speed of 50-60mph for warbirds as they shouldn't be like ballistic missiles.

I have had a Hurricane that size before and it flew very well on an older version of the Laser 80. The current production version of the 80 is more powerful than my old one and is only 100-200rpm slower than an OS91SII on the same prop/plug/fuel.

My recommendation would be the Laser 80 running a 14x7 2 blade prop. A friend has this exact setup in the same plane and we hope to test fly it very soon.
