Default WM Midget Mustang. What engine?

I just got back from flying my WM Midget Mustang this evening. It is an excellent model, you will no doubt love the way it flies!

I have a Saito .91 (four-stroke) in mine and think it is the perfect engine for this plane. It has virtually unlimited vertical and is very fast. I tend to overpower models also - as long as they don't get too heavy. What ever you choose, keep it light!

The only thing I don't like about the Midget Mustang is the landing gear wire. It needs heavier wire as it will easily bend backwards upon landing and then nose-over (no matter how easy the landing is on grass). Other than that it is an outstanding model. One trick I recently discovered is the use of spoilerons on this plane really help as it tends to float forever on landing. After I am over the runway and a few feet up I deploy the spoilerons upward 10-20 degrees. The plane will settle nicely onto the runway without the float which tended to use up too much runway. Enjoy!
