Raw Power or Throttle Response
I'm building a Widebody 60/90 with an estimated finish weight of
7 Lbs. and I have two engines, which would you use?
Important I live at 8,000 ft ASL, so we loose a lot of thrust believe me this figures are real.
OS 91FX
Thrust 10 Lbs. APC 14 x 6 between average to bad throttle response.
YS 80ST (Heli engine adapted to Aero).
Thrust 9 Lbs. APC 14 x 6 Awesome throttle response.
Any comments appreciated

I think that the OS will have a fine throttle response. As long as you don't run an APC prop, cause theyre heavy. Id use a good wood prop like Menz, or Bamboola.

My .91FX has excellent power, but I'm about tired of the crappy throttle response. I'm going to try a Glo-Driver, and if that doesn't work. . .
I would go with the YS. Deadsticks live up to their name when you're going low and slow doing 3D stuff.

Go for as much power as you can and still keep it as light as possible ! If you do not get a Satio 100 or similar , I'd go for the 91 FX ! Just my 2 cents. Rod & Chris in PA.
