For my second plane i ordered a sig Four Star 60 kit which i am currently building. Ive read alot of reviews about the four star and it seems that alot of people are using extra power with .75 two strokes or 1.00 four strokes. Im not sure that making a hotrod out of this plane is the best idea for me since im trying to use it as a low wing trainer. Any suggestions on a great reliable engine that will allow the plane to still preform easily enough for me to fly are greatly appreiated, as i have no idea what to get. If anyone thinks that i should follow in with the croud and get a larger engine im still open to that idea as well.


searching by myself these are possible engines i have come across:

OS 65 LA
OS 61 FX
Tower 61 and 75
HP Gold Cup 61
GMS 61 and 75

i already have a os 65 la on my trainer and am very impressed with its reliabilty and ease of use. I would use that engine just for the sake of saving money, but my dad is learning to fly too, and doesnt want me to use that engine (hes not as good as me )

Thanks

Mike
