Mike, I thought the same thing about the ys 1.10. Truth is, I havent even touched the needles since break in. Thats 2 gallons of fuel!!! The spinner wont matter much, get a 3 inch so you can accomadate a big prop. I had a funtana40 and I hated flying it. I love the yak. this is no doubt the best airplane money can buy. If you want a saito, go 1.50. THE 1.20 has less hp than the ys 1.10. The 1.50 with a 17x6 prop should be money on the yak!! I use a 17x6 on cool power 30% nitro and my yak will hover at 1/3 throttle!! Go with the yak, you will not be dissapointed. One more thing, if you look at the funtana closely or for a minute, it really doesnt look like a real plane. I mean, it has "fun flyer" written all over it!!! The yak comes with a 16oz fuel tank and is good for 12 minute flights on my yak. mike
