I too have one that needs an airplane. I am thinking about an aeroworks 35 cc plane, but i'm thinking it might be too heavy. Maybe a pilot rc plane as they come in several sizes.

I'm putting one on an OMP 80" Profile Edge so I guess that is my choice.
Profiles just fly better IMO. They have better HP/weight ratio's and usually less wing loading.
All that makes profiles the way to go for 3D (under 50CC).

The H9 Extra 260 should do well with it, but the EF 78 inch should be a better match that will keep you working on your piloting skills if you are hot and eager.

Yep me too,OMP 80" Edge with a Beila 20-8 @ 8000 rpm's.It's a new plane for me,still haven't flown it yet.
The 2.20 is almost to light for the OMP Edge,i have a 2500 five cell in the nose and still needed a big ***** spinner on the engine[:@] to get it to the most aft recommended CG.

Not much reason for a spinner on a flat fuse. I'd just use a Higley heavy hub/nut on it.

My vote is for the #1 Extreme Flight Extra 300 or #2 H9 Extra 260.
I owned a H9 Extra 260 with a DA50 and it came out at 14lbs even so a Saito 220 should come in at 13lbs or less.
I,ve had both the Aeroworks Extra 260/300 35cc versions they do not balance easily with the Saito 220.
I know I tried and decided to sell the engine and get a DA50 instead.
