A .91FS! Drat! Am I going to be WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY overpowered! I have a Saito 1.50 that I am currently fitting to the nose of my BUSA 1/4 Cub. I do plan on spinning a scale 18" prop. Mine might come in heavier as I am adding scale gear and an interior plus pull-pull on all the surfaces. Even still I think I have too much engine. I was thinking about starting my competition career with this plane. Sounds like I would be better off with a 1.20 since mine will spend a fair amount of time on floats. I am just not sure a .91Fs would pull a 14lb Cub + floats off the water very well.

Since I am very much interested in scale flight I think I need to reconsider engines. What do you think? For a competition Cub that will be on floats ditch the 1.50 for a Saito 1.20 or a Saito 1.00?

There is also a used OS FT-160 at my LHS. Has the stock carb replaced with a dual needle carb, on-board glow etc for $369! The engine was originally bought from the same shop and has had two owners. Both take excellent care of their gear. Probably too much engine but it sure is tempting!!
