So Im thinking maybe a Saito 150 or any 120 if it provides enough power for it. TIA

Hi Ed,
Really depends on what type of flying you intend to do. For pattern, depending on what class you fly, it may struggle with any of these engines. Even the Saito 180 only turns a 16 x 8 prop. You may even find it will fly too slow for that design? The plane was designed for a YS 140/160, which run a 16.5 x 12 prop at around the same revs as the others.
I'm interested to know how it goes with whatever engine you decide on.
