Default RE: World Spitfire engine choice?

One minor problem here with the Saito 100 in this size plane which I am expericencing and that is the torque and alot of it. I have countless sizes of two strokes from 46-3500 . We have here a honking engine on a very light (but re-enforced) frame. I have the idle so low its about to quit and the plane is still rolling forward. Make sure you get the CG right on.
