OK. After reading through this interesting debate, I am thoroughly confused. I am buying a 66.5" P51-D. I will be using a Futaba 2.4 GHz 7C radio system and I am considering a Saito FA-91S or equivalent. I currently fly with a Magnum XLS .46 and have never had a problem. I have an 11x6 master airscrew on it and it runs excellent. It even survived a heck of a crash when I lost my first plane. Very durable indeed. What do you guys suggest for the warbird? I dont mind the noise of the 2s, but I hate the mess. Help me out.
in my Hangar-9 mustang which is about the same size I run a OS91 surpass its a fine engine for that size plane, a saito 91- 100 be a good size engine as well depending on the weight,for the lighter ARF mustangs 7-8lbs, the engine would be a great fit.
for a kit build like a Top Flight then a OS 120 or a saito125 might be a better choice since they tend to come in a bit heavy 10-12lbs.
my H-9 is a little over 8lbs
