I suggest something in the 180 range. I had a 160 in mine and it was anemic. It could barely maintain level flight with gear, flaps, and speed brakes out.
BTW - The scheme you've selected looks awesome!
Do you have pics of your linkages you could post? Where is your c/g and surface throw measurements would be appreciated. Do you fly with the wing tanks? Thinking about ordering them as they weren't with this kit.
I'm planning on a 40lb Jet Central Rhino for power. Was thinking about the JB220 but they are back ordered for months. Saw one used on RCU, but someone else got it before I could.
