RE: WHAT ENGINE FOR HARRIER 90
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!

RE: WHAT ENGINE FOR HARRIER 90
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.

RE: WHAT ENGINE FOR HARRIER 90
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

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.

Did you have to retune your engine with the Youngblood fuel? Sounds like this may be promising. But, my LHS has never even heard of this fuel. I'm not sure where to buy it.
Thanks,

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!
