Default Engine advice for Tensor needed...

Hello, I was given a Tensor 4D Bi-plane as a gift. I Wasnt really expecting a 3D but now that I got it I'm excited to get this thing in the air. What would be the Ideal power source for this plane?? Which Motor? I dont want to over power it or under power it...
Thanks
Rob

without a shadow of any dobt the AXI 2208/34 with a hollow shaft if you intend to go with a variable pitch prop at a latter date, do not try the variable pitch prop until you have some experience of the Tensor, if is unlike anything you may have flown before, all axis's are independent of each other i.e. rudder just yaws the nose round and the whole aircraft in a flat circle, ailerons just bank it, not turn it there is no secondary input from these controls. Have fun its a good experience.

I agree with the above post. Either an Axi 2208 or an E-Flite 370 1080kv outrunner, which is what i have on mine. Vertical is like a little missile.

Little screamer works well too. I use a two cell 830 Apogee with it. on 9/4 prop. Good combo.
