Default Motor recommendation

I am looking for input on motor for a VectorFlight 58in 300S (60-75 size) model. I trained on a Super Tigre .61 in a Hobbico .60 and progressed to a Sig Four Star 60 with a Super Tigre.75 in it. I'd like some input as to best motor for the plane. I have had considerable experience with Super Tigres both in the RC models and in control line aerobatics, so a warm place in my heart. Never have had a problem with one. But What are your experiences. Is an OS going to give me something the Supre Tigre does not? I am not really interested in four strokes so stick to 2 stroke recs. Also is a .75 the best size for this model. I see so many posts of people uping the size of recommended power plants and obviously there is no weight penalty to speak of in the ST .61 to .90. In that VectorFlight has a 66 inch model for .90 power it leads me to believe they feel pretty strongly that a .75 is the right power. What are your thoughts?


Thanks,

bob branch
