If you can get your hands on a Fox 3.2 (I don't know what is in stock right now) they are extremely powerful and hover my 87in extra 260 at under 1/4 throttle. The motor is actually remarkably lite but I have been known to throw on a 24x10 just to show how strong it really is and it still turns the same as a DA with a 22x10 in rpm's, also the motors I fly from Fox are not specially done for me, they are the same thing you would buy off the shelf, no mods, you don't have to buy a bunch of up sale mods to have a motor that is as strong as the sponsored peoples motors, they came off the same shelve that the one you buy from them will.

I get to fly all the manufacturers motors to compare them to what we have at Fox, the motor that surprised me the most (If you cant get a Fox) was the DL USA motor out of china, it was strong, very strong after break in, and the price at under $400 is a wow too. If you cant get a Fox go for a DL.

Setup was basic on the one we built at Joe Nall last year (87in lanier Yak) 100oz servos on all the surfaces except the rudder which was a 150oz, balanced on the center of the wing tube and fly it like we stole it. The only thing that needs to be addressed was the cowl, lock tight the crud out of it, other than that the plane was great.
