I've got an Ace Bingo 60 kit that I expect to be starting shortly. I'll be building it with the long wing most likely.

I'm not sure yet what size engine to put in it. I have decided I'd like to go with a four stroke. Will a SAITO 72 be enough?

Who has had experience with this plane? I know it's an oldie that has been out of production for a while.

I'm looking for sport flyer characteristics, not wild and wooly. Enough for loops, rolls, and other basic and intermediate type aerobatics. Not expecting 3D or unlimited uplines.

I'd like to power it appropriately while avoiding overpowering it. I don't want to find myself flying around at 1/4 throttle most of the time ... but at the same time I don't want to have to keep it gunned to hold altitude!

I know this is a heavier plane than the more modern 60 size kits, like the 4 Star. Maybe more along the lines of the Spacewalker.

What say you voices of experience?

Thanks,

BobbyG
