It will fly great. Mine is a little over 9lbs with a Webra 1.20 2C and it flys very light.

Have fun with it.

Make sure that you seal the hinge gap on the ailerons. I picked up a used F90 from a fellow club member that I flew today for the first time. He sealed the gaps but I don't think he did it correctly and there was extreme flutter at 1/3 throttle.

The Enya-120 is a great engine but I think you are toward the bottom of 3D performance with a 120 4 banger... It will fly great but I wonder about the hover/vert performance...

Enyas are pretty strong though...

Why not an 18x6? The 160 should be able to handle that with ease.
