In my opinion we as rc hobbyist are going to do what ever it takes to get what we each want from the hobby regardless of what any magazine says or what the manufacturer suggest.

As for me "I want the maximum adrenaline rush I can possibly get from each product I Purchase" I always wanted a large pitts & @ the time I purchased the pitts an arf was the only thing I could do due to no shop to build in. In my opinion this plane screams for a large powerful engine, thats why I decided on a
G-62. I think the only excitement you would get with an os160 in this plane would be watching to see if it will lift off before running out of runway!! A friend from the club built one with the us41 & it barely got off the runway, very weak in the air.
After he landed I cranked mine & taxied out, full throttle, airborne in 5', pulled up & started vertical roll until almost out of sight. My friend took his plane home "very disappointed" & proceeded to rip the engine out, He replaced it with a fugi50 & is much more satisfied. So as I said we will do whatever it takes to get what we want out of the hobby no matter what anyone says or thinks about it.
