Default RE: Best features / layout for conversion

Thanks for the insight guys.

For my first gasser and first conversion I was thinking about the OMP 79" Yak or 80" Edge 540.

Both of these planes call for a 30cc gas engine.

Couple of questions:

1. Do you think that a 30cc conversion is a good match for this plane or will it lack the power that a purpose built RC 30cc engine would have?

2. Is a conversion engine to heavy for this type of performance profile plane?

3. Should I expect the same type of unlimited performance from a conversion engine as commercially available 30cc RC engine?

4. Since this is a profile plane which conversion would be easiest to mount?

5. When looking for great performance is a conversion a poor fit for this plane?

Thanks,

GB
