I used to have an O.S. 91 FS on mine I am gonna try it with an O.S.91FX tommorow. I will let you know how it does, the 91 four stoke didn't seem to have enough power and I got a good deal on the 2 stroke so we will see!

I think the 108 would be good. It's not too heavy and you have plenty of room to move the battery around for balance.
At a guess I would think a 16 x 4 Wideblade would be the prop to try, perhaps going up to 17 x 4W if the revs are too high.
I think a 91 twostroke is spot-on for this model - I used the MVVS 91 because it is very light, lighter than many 61s, and it produces loads of low-down power.

The 91FX does great 15X4W and the thing is ballistic I think it is all the motor I would want in a 2 stroke. Otherwise it would be a YS110 4 stroke.

My YS110 in my F90 will turn an APC 16x6 at 9,750 RPM with Cool Power 30% heli fuel ... not bad huh? Might get about 9,300 RPM with a 17x6 even ... hehehe

Hello,
I got 9900 on APC 16x6 with the new Wildcat Youngblood 30% fuel. You should give it a try.

110 is all you need MAX to keep weight at around 8lbs 2 oz.. i have flown ADDICTS plane with the 91FX..I was very suprised by the perfomance it did everything i could throw at it and alot of things my U-Can-Do wont with the 91FX.i think it flies fine with it . My U-can-do weighs only 3 oz more than his harrier with a 110YS. the YS does quite a bit more power though. the harrier blows my U-Can_do away perfomance wise in 3d. now i want one but i only have 1 YS 110.. wish i had a truck load of them but they are always backordered[:@]

seanychen, I read with interest your post about Youngblood fuel getting you a couple of hundred more RPM over Cool Power. Both fuels are 30% nitro and oil content. Why would the Youngblood fuel give more power? Where do you get the Youngblood fuel? Thanks for your comments.
Thanks,
Barry

Thanks,
Barry


I got a 4-gallon case of the 30% Youngblood mix @ Toledo show, right after it's released. It was $16 per gallon, and I now regret that I didn't get more, much more. Now I am liking it better than the $24 Cool Power 30% Heli fuel.

Seany - I got a peak RPM of 10,200 on the Cool Power 30% with the APC 16x6 and no muffler.
Raniery - I would go for the YS140

No muffler? Mine figure is with stock muffler w/o internal baffle. I think the stock muffler reduces power a little, even with the baffle removed. I do think 9900 is a little high to be revving a YS this size. I am going to try a Bambula 16x6 to see if I can get the rpm down while getting more thrust.
I think YS 140 is too much for this 60" bird. I think the YS 110 is adequately over-powering this bird. But then, I haven't even built my Harrier 3D; I'm only using UCD3D 60 as a comparison. In my opinion, things get to a point when the additional power does not justifiably benefit the extra weight, fuel consumption, and vibration, especially for 3D.

Seany - I am not too happy with having to run so rich ... gonna look for a 17x6 for the YS110. Hope I can find one, for this part of the world its an odd size. You guys there are lucky!
