Default UCD Motor Please

I'd go with the Saito. Lighter and more than enough power for 3D. You just have to maintain it though as the bearing in the front can go out pretty fast especially when you hover and torque roll a lot. Inject lots of after run oil in the crank case vent and try to store your plane nose down so the oil runs to the front bearing. Also I use an APC 16x4W prop, plane flies slow but unlimited vertical.
