I have a saito fg90 in mine. After 4 flights, I'm thinking about swapping the engine out for either a eme70 or dle120. I got a lot of compliments on the sound of the saito, but I feel that it is under power for a 34.5lbs airplane. Plus the engine is overheating (I'm pretty sure) in the air. Handling felt poor in the air. I already have the NIB EME70, but not sure how much more power it has over the saito. The dle120 has the same dimension as the DLE111 and I'll be able to use 24x12 3 blades. I want at least 50% more power than the saito. Another option is to go to the 125cc radial, but I don't want to spend another $2000 on it.
Anyone has the EME70 in their bird ? What is the power like ?
