GBISAK,

I too respectufully disagree with you. My credentials, I currently own one 4*40 two 4*60's and two 4*120's. I have built many, some bone stock and some full mod into 3D machines. BUT---this is only his second plane, he needs to leave the dihedral in and the control surfaces and throws stock for now so why put in a motor that will suck much more fuel, be more power than he needs, swing a bigger prop which on a four star with the low main gear might mean more prop strikes on less than perfect landings and with the heavier engine up front he will have to add ballast to the tail to get his balance correct. Maybe for his next plane but I am sticking to my guns when I say I think a Saito 72 is right for him now. JMHO
