Model Tech Magic or Magic Extra would work nicely with that engine.

Default Additional choices

H-9 Pizazz
Sig Somethin Extra

Choose the lighter Magic if you plan to do a lot of hovering with this engine choice.

No. The Pizazz will come out about 5.5 lbs unless you go to extaordinary lenghts, Carbon gear, teany servos, teany battery, etc. The 50 will handle it but the 40 would like to see 4.5 lbs or less

Actually, it might be a doable engine for the Pizazz. I have a Webra Silverline 40 and I first installed it on a Thuder Tiger Fun Tiger, which topped out near 5.5lbs. Before I CG'd the airplane I had an experienced pilot fly it. She flew great. Unfortunately, when I CG'd the airplane I found that because the engine is so light a lot of weight was needed in the nose -- this effectively robbed the airplane of power and she was lackluster. I replaced the Webra with an OS FX .46 and the TT lived happily after that.

I currently have the Webra on a Model Tech ME-109 and that combination is ideal. I'm even running a 3-blade prop.

It is my understanding that the newer Webra 40gt is a stronger engine than the Silverline???

The Weston Cougar might be a good choice. Mine came out just over 3 pounds with a Mag 36, HS 225 servos and 720 MHA NiMH battery. hovers with plenty to spare.

Nice!

Not sure about the weight though, they say 5-6 pounds. you probably will only have 5 pounds of static thrust from the 40. it will fly and do most aerobatics, but its really nice to have more thrust than weight. 5 pounds of thrust in a 3 pound plane has its advantages.

Well, if you want a plane that you can have a blast with then maybe you should check out the Magic 3D. It's an ARF and only $100. It won't do it all but it's a ton of fun.

I just noticed you are from Israel. It's $100 in U.S. funds, if that helps.

Spend a couple of extra bucks and get an ultrathrust muffler for it.
Webras realy like them.

You can also go to the (engine manufactors direct support forum)
YS engines and ask Dave Shadel how to get one. Because you are in Israel it may not be easy. But Dave may know the answer.
The Ultrathrust is his product. Give him an idea of the prop you intend to use. He makes these things for different rpm ranges.

That "GSP" giles will turn out very light. I am building one and it will tip the scales at 4.25 lbs with an OS50. Bare airframe (no engine or radio gear) is 2 lbs.
The plane is available from other sources at lower price than GSP, it is made in China and sold through many distributors.
Biggest problem with it is the tail is very light and the nose long, it will come out nose heavy.
