Patrice - what plane are you talking about ... it makes a difference. If its like the F90 then I say OS120 or YS110. Again if its like a 7 lbs plane the SA100 will be great fun and you do not need a YS110. So what plane you looking at? For me among all those engines I like the YS110 best. Its amazing!

For 90 sized ships the YS 110 Is by farr the most popular choice, 2nd choice would most likely be the saito 150
for 40 sized ships then ide say iether the Saito 82 or the YS 63 both are excellent motors, honestly couldnt say witch is better

How heavy is your F90 and what prop RPM are you getting?

Velox11,

Tianci is correct, please let us know what planes you are considering and if you are willing to spend a lot of $ on high nitro fuel.

SA100 on the small one--you can get by with inexpensive 15% fuel

YS110 on the large one--you need at least 20% fuel.

if you read the specs you will see that they are actually a bit heavy...

8.5lbs for the big
6.5lbs for the small
