That's probably not a bad idea Hooleydog if you like a lot of power.

Not to disagree with you, because it obviously worked for you and you like it.

I would just like to add that I have an evo .46 NT in mine. I have been flying it a couple of months. I am by far and expert buy I am comfortable with the plane and my evo provided more than enough power for me.

My plane does get knocked around on very windy days, but that has only happend once over the past couple months. And damn, was it wind!

But everyone's power requirments are different.

Good luck hooleydog with whatever you choose. But if you decide to get the 61 that would allow you to put that engine in a larger "second" plane. But check out the costs, they are more.
