Default RE: Twist 3D... What Engine???

Thanks Guys,

I have kind of a collection on the shelf. I have a Satio 82, 100, OS FS-52, OS 46 FX, OS 50SX, 61 FX all NIB . I have two Fx 61s but I think it would be a bit much in both power and weight and I would lean more toward a 4 stroke for a 3d plane. There is something to be said about having a cheap engine on this !QUOT!trainer!QUOT! plane to start with and then upgrade later. But I think I'm good enough to recover and smart enough not to try these things 5 feet off the ground for a long long while. So I'm only really concerned about equipment failures and that can happen with any engine on it as it pretty much just chance. Would the Saito 82 be too much for this plane at full throttle? I was thinking myself that an OS FS-70 II would be my choice simply because the satio 82 would be too hot. I still don't know what I want to do. Need time to think about it I guess.
