Default RE: Engine suggestions for a Four Star 60?

Any engine between a 60 and a 90 will do a good job. From what I have seen a two stroke Will usually be lighter although not always. The engine size will not make it eaiser or harder to land. That's what the left stick is for reduce the throttle and slow it down if it's still to fast extend your landing pattern and try again. I had a 4*60 that I put a supertiger .75 on ( easy now rock throwing is not allowed) and it flew like a *****cat. with a 12/8 prop and landed as slow as my Sig lt-40. This will probably get some people excited but here's the truth. Os Supertiger Thundertiger Magnum Are brand names just like ford chey chrysler. Best advice I can give you is buy what you can afford and break it in properly and you should not have a problem.. Now Do a search here and other places there are many engine brands and types and YES there are some paper weights no one really wants. Four strokes cost more to start with but supposedly use less fuel. Four strokes are generally heavier. They also are a bit more difficult to setup. The biggest comment I hear is they sound great. Sound dosen't make the plane fly.

Good luck let us know what you decide.
