Default Engine advice

Hello!
I need a engine advice for my Flip 3D.
I have a Irvine 53 that runs great now, but need this engine for another plane...
Engines i have look at: Ys 63, Saito 72 and Os 70 ultimate.
I want a engine that is easy to tune.

hi,

The YS is what CPLR designed it around, if youve got the right fuel it will be ballistic to fly

The OS 70. Id day no, dont know why, just i wouldnet want it

I really dont know anything else about the OS 70 special.

Outher options are the Saito 72, ive heard these are extremly good. OR i have a West Eurotech 50T! (bastically as modified Webra) I rekon these are the YSs of two strokes. I can turn a 13x4w at 13,000rpm on 10% nitro. A YS will do these revs but it needs 20%+ nitr

If price is no object, then there is nothing, and i mean nothing like a YS. If you don't go for a YS then you should look at the Saito 72 or maybe the Saito 91. You could always go for a OS (overhyped sh*t).
