Default RE: WHICH ENG FOR WM SPITFIRE 60

Tailskid,

I almost put one in mine... because I HATE lead on my planes I used the 91fs for the extra weight and power. You'll probably need a bit longer than usual take off run to get airborne due to the smallish wing... it's not a short run with mine turning an APC 14x6 at 10 grand... once in the air the saito will pull it fine though. I fly my H9 cubby off water at 10lb 3oz with a saito 72... plenty of power on that huge wing so it's not the weight that will hurt ya it the smaller wing/higher loading. I think it will work BUT I think you'll find it a bit short on the power this Warbird needs.
