I am looking for an engine that will give relatively scale flight for my price range and not just looking for as much power as possible. Wouldn't the .46 AX be a bit much for this Cessna?
Go with the .46 LA and use a large diameter/low pitch prop. It won't be lightning fast, but it is after all, a Cessna! The pitts style muffler will make it sound a bit more realistic than a standard 2 cycle muffler.
