I wonder if anyone would comment on the 4 stroke possibilities for this plane>?
A 56 4 stroke is recommended and should provide as much power as a 2 stroke 40. If you want to "hot rod" it go with a 61 - 65 size 4 stroke.
When I got my first one, I planned on a .65 Saito, but the engine case was too wide to fit between the engine mount rails, so I went with the .56. It was plenty of power for anything except unlimited vertical. BUT....... the new .62 Saito is the same engine case as the .56, so that should take care of the unlimited vertical, also. You wouldn't even need a bigger tank, I could fly over 30 minutes with the stock tank and the .56.
