Default GP Venus 40 Engine
After much research I ordered my Venus 40 yesterday after crashing my 4* on Sunday. I've been interested in pattern flying for some time and this seems like a great plane to start with. I now have the very enviable dilemma of trying to decide which of my three out of commission engines to put in the plane. Behind door #1 is an OS 46FX, door #2 is a Magnum 52 4S, a lastly, door #3 is an OS 61FX. I've read that the 46FX will fly the plane "fine" but is that a Cindy Crawford/Bo Derek kind of "fine" or a "she's got a nice personality" kind of "fine"[]. If its true that bigger is better than I'll put the 61 in it but I'm somewhat concerned with the resulting weight issue.

Anybody got an opinion,
