Default motors

Ok I have read threw the other thread about 5 times and I have contacted YS. I still can't decide so I will ask here.

I am fairly new to 3D and I want to HOVER!

I am real close to buying a YS 91fz but I keep thinking that the saito 100 or maybe a 120 in ys or saito would be better. I have heard that the 100 is lighter but the ys 91 has better transition and more power. I have also been told to get a 120 for the added power.


Is there really a need to put the tank on the CG. I like the idea, but does it cause a balence problem?

If I go with saito I would have to have a pump to put the tank on the CG and YS I would not.

I have heard the ys 91fz will hover this plane at half throttle, is this better than the saito 100 is that good enough?

Help I am tired of all these conflicting opinions, please someone what is the best motor for this plane?

So far this is what I have gathered:
YS 91fz-- Hover at half throttle, more power than the 100, comparable to most 120s

Saito 100--Light, several threads stating this is the perfect combo, have to spend more money on a pump to put the tank on the CG

120 YS or Saito--too heavy causes the adding of tail weight, some say the power is too much, some say it is perfect, the ys is discontinued and both cost more for unknown added value.

YS 140fz--most would say it is way too much for the plane, but have seen a couple of people use it and seem to like it.

I maybe crazy but please any info could help this decision be made.

Thanks all
