I'm using a YS 91 on mine. Works great. I doubt if your little 100 will hurt it

Had a Saito 100 on mine flew great.
Felt the airplane was a little fragile though and decided to retire it.
Make sure you clue or maybe ca the pins in the Rudder for the hinges.
That seemed to be one of the weak points in this airplane. I liked the pinned hinges
but they seemed to work there way out of the balsa(pins).
I had to put toothpicks in two of the hinges only after a few flights and recently
the hinges had worked themselves so loose I was looking at replacing them on
the rudder but other things happend to make me just decide to retire the airplane.
I will miss how this airplane flew.

I did not renforce the tail with wires I felt I would not put the tail to the test as my
flying ablities are not really that great and I do not put that much stress on the airplane.
Here are some pictures of the aiplane with the carbon fiber rods I put on the elevator and
aileron servos. I should have done it to the Rudder too as I feel that is part of the problem.
Vibration from the loose servo arm vibrated the tail which vibrated the pins out of the tail
structure. I would replace the pins with toothpicks and CA or at least CA the pins to the
wood. I do not believe that they are CA'ed in place and when I removed the hinges from the
tail structure it only took a pair of needle nose pliers and very little pulling to get them out of the airplane.

I use a YS 91. Flys awesome, but I need more control throw and a more rearward CG.
