Default Engine for Chip Hyde Cap-x

I have a Chip Hyde Cap-x. Can anyone recomend a good engine for this plane. I know it flys good with a O.S. 1.60. But I live at 7000' and want to be able to hover and have alot of climb out from hover. I would also like to try a gas engine maybee a G-38 or G-45. Any thoughts?

If you want to go gas go with a lightwieght 40 or da 50. I have a moki 1.80 in mine and am planning on putting a moki 2.10 in it because im moving to colorado and will also be up at alttitude. A G-38 or 45 will be way to heavy.

I have a OS 1.60fx on mine and its a good combo. Some guys are using a 50cc gasser with good results as well.
