Finally have mine all together, currently with a saito 1.25 in it. I have done some reading and am considering replacing with a SPE 26 gas engine in this plane.

Weight is only slightly heavier than the Saito and seems to swing the same size prop as the Saito. Anyone have experiences with the SPE line of engines specifically the 26 in a 9-10 pound plane? Are they reliable and make good power? Please share your thoughts on the SPE engine line.
