Default Engine for Madness

Hi, I've just bought a madness and I'm not sure which engine to put in it. I want to put one of my current engines in there. The options are :

OS70FS
OS46FX (With Genesis pipe)
OS90FS

Has anyone got any suggestions as to which is the best to use and why?

Cheers

Orignial Madness made by ZN Line, great bird.

Designed for the YS45 or a YS 63.

Flew mine on a YS45. It hovered it and had power to pull out, however it was lacking in power. I put a OS 50 on it later in life and it performed better.

Go with the 70 and a 13-4W APC and see how it does. Not sure you would be happy with the 46 even with the pipe.

If you are unhappy with the knife edge and/or the roll rate, remove the wing tips.

I'd suggest going with the OS70

I have a Madness 2 with a YS 63 and it has awsome power, The 46 wouldn't be enough power. I rekon the 90 would probably be too heavy...

Good luck

Is it the Original Madness or Madness 2?

a friend of mine has Saito 72 in it and it seems plenty of power. This plane is very light and doesn't need any more than that.
