RE: CMP Yak 54 140... Which engine?
i think there are threads saying that if you're looking for 3D, you've bought the wrong plane. according to the other posters, you're going to have to go with the new Saito 220 or maybe a 160DZ to have enough power for 3D. i have one that's still NIB. a 140DZ was going in it but hasn't yet.
as many have said, it's tail heavy and with a lb in the nose, you won't have a great 3D plane. but basic aerobatics is suppose to be good.
