If you could pick one motor for a Mojo .40 what would you get and why? Just bought this plane and was wondering what those with them are flying it with.
Thanks.

i second the 82, lots of power.....i just flew my mojo for its maiden flight today with a os46 with tower pipe and this plane rocks!!!! i even hit the ice fairly hard with a dumb thumb move with absolutely no damage. this bird is tuff and light, mine came in at 3lbs and 14oz .....i chose the the os46 over the 82 (i have 2, accell katana and the twist) because its a very thirsty engine, and with the 6 oz fuel tank, the flights would be very short with the saito, so i opted for the 2 stroker, it still pulls from a hover well but not with the athority the 82 is known for......just something to consider

This plane is so light I can get unlimited vertical and great pull out with a Thunder Tiger Pro 46 w/tower hobbies muffler. I think any BB 46 will work fine.

Thanks guys!
These suggestions are just what I needed. I think I will get a Thunder Tiger .46. I was thinking of going all-out on this with a YS-63 but the extra cost is just not worth it.
Thanks again.
P-man.

I built mine with an OS .70 4 stroke and I am pretty happy. The .70 Surpass
is a little heavy for that application but it has plenty of power to spare.
Looks like the .46 FX with the pipe rocks.

I had a YS63 on my 2nd Burrito and it was more than adequate. Maybe even a bit scary. I swiched to an OS 50 and it is more than enough too. I originally had an OS 46 fx on it and it was just enough with no margin. The Burrito weighs a tad under 4 lbs. I also have a Mojo 40 that is waiting for the Burrito to die or get boring, neither of which are happening very fast. I will start the Mojo 40 with the OS 50 'cause the engine is so reliable and user friendly. Not to say the YS isn't nice to deal with - I love them all.
