I've been flying mine with a P80 and its definately too much power not detuned, but i dont think a 12lb turbine is the way to go either. The perfect engine for this airplane is the P70. I just dont want to pull out a perfectly good motor and sell it and loose around 600 to change to it. If you have a P120 just turn it down, it will fly it great because the F86 will land great at any speed fast or slow. I often think i might be coming in a little to quick and it just sucks to the runway everytime.
GREAT AIRPLANE WITH GREAT FLYING CHARACTERISTICS!!!!
