I would say no to the 2300 for this weight plane. it's a good engine but not that strong . I would go to the 3250, which I recently bought for my World GS mustang (it weighs about the same). but as I have not flown this combo yet I can't say this is a winner setup, but its well worth trying it out. by the way it seems to balance very nicely in the workd GS mustang. I bought a pitts muffler for this - the 3250 comes without a muffler.
