NO - THE 91!!! (jumping up and down with a red face)


Well, to continue the disagreement, though respectfully, I would point out that the Saito 72 is the engine of choice for 40 sized planes, ie my World Models P51, and even a Somethin' extra at our field, and puts out MUCH less power than the average 2stroke 60 that the 4*60 was designed for. Though it would fly it, it would be just flying. The second plane is meant to explore the world and another trainer is not the right plane.

Weight aside, and you'll still need a little nose weight with the 91 anyway, there's no such thing as too much power, that's what the throttle is for. As to prop hits, this plane lands so well, easier than any trainer I ever had, I really don't think it should be considered unless the pilot was very poor at landing. As a matter of fact, landing is my second favorite manuver with this plane, the first being the torque roll.

I have yet to see anyone say the actually have, or had, a 4*60 with a saito 72. I actully believe it would be trouble waiting to happen, but I have never seen one, so I don't know.
