RE: 4 strokes
If your plane really is NO MORE than 5 lbs the Saito 82 with a 14/4 and 30% heli should snap it up out of a hover or straighten it with a blip of the throttle with good authority. My experience says that 5 lbs is about the max for a YS63 or a Saito 72 and still have good snap remaining.
