Default Kyosho F4U Corsair

Looking for a good-looking, relatively quick building airplane and I've always loved the Corsair. The little F4U by Kyosho has caught my eye, and I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to engine selection or retracts.

Right now I am looking at a YS .63 (4-stroke) for power. Too much or a good idea?

Could the Robart 90 degree retracts be modified for use? I know they have a bad reputation when used in the .60 sized TF Corsair, but I thought they might be tough enough for a .40 sized bird (so long as they would fit).

Any other inputs welcome!

Mike
