Default GP Ultimate Biplane

Got one for Christmas (thank you sweetheart :-) Great building on their part, the finish is perfect. Now.. what engine to use.. the manaual says that the DA 50 is not recommend as it over powers it, ( I have a new one in the box.... bummer) I also have a new Saito 180, but I would really like to use smoke on this one so I am guess it should be 2 stroke to get any real smoke. So...they recommend a 160, but I think I would like a bit more than that and I was thinking that dealing with the glitch problems from ignition type engines is not fun either.. What would you guys recommend? Don't care how much it costs really. I just used a Brisson engine in my 1/4 scale GB (adrian page kit) but I have not run it yet. GP recommend the 43 (?) Fuji, and I have a 50 Fuji in my GP Chrisian Eagle (also never started that one yet, lol) but as I said, I was thinking that a large displacement 2 stroke glow engine would be nice.. low wieght, no ignition and it should make good smoke (or not?). If I do use the DA 50, could I not prop it right to get good vertical with less air speed.. maybe a 3 blader?

Any help is appreciated.. by the way anyone got this bird yet... any improvements required on the engineering end of things?

Best regards,
Randy
