Default YS 1.10 questions

Hey guys,

I know this would probably be better suited to be asked in the engines forum, but both of the engines I am asking about seem to be pretty popular among the pattern crowd, so here it is.

My Delimma:

I have an AA plane designed by a friend of mine that I bought around December. It presently has an OS .91 FX on it and it does an OK job of pulling it around. He said that the engine was probably not the best match for it, but it was the lightest thing that was around that was going to give him vaguely close to what he wanted. I would like more pull, something around the lines of my Webra in my Hydeout. I was talking to another friend at the field the other day and he was flying it and he thought the same thing as me and the designer. The plane is an Aeroworks Freedom 3D.

I had mentioned a 1.20 for it and my buddy reminded me of the 1.10. This piqued my interest, and I looked online when I got home and found that it is only one ounce heavier than the OS. I figured this would be good since the plane has a short nose moment and is still a little tail-heavy. I'm guessing about how people have been raving over the 1.10 that it has alot of power, how much more than the OS would it have? Doesn't it have a pump so that I could put the tank over the CG?

I was thinking of keeping the OS to put in something along the lines of a Funtana .40, but it seems as that's not too bright an idea, so I think I will sell it and use that money to help me get the YS. The engine has about 40-50 flights on it right now and looks brand new. Does anyone have a clue about how much I should be asking for it?

Thanks alot, and I look foreward to hearing from everybody. [8D]
