In my search to find an entry level into pattern flying that I could afford, I came across a new YS61 long stroke at the right price. I know this engine is a bit dated now, but I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to best it up. What sort of mount is best?

Now, I have to choose an airframe. How would this engine go in the Swallow EX? I've read about all its problems, and would strengthen the fuse up as suggested. How would the YS61 power this airframe? Any other suggestions for a cheap airframe (I've been looking for a second hand Slingshot here in Australia, but no luck).

Thanks,

Steve
