Default 81" Lanier Cap 232 engine Question

Okay so I know there have been alot of threads goin up about this plane, especially with them being only $110. But I broke down and bought one a couple of weeks ago, and I'm beating my self up about the engine choice.

I cant really decide on either a super tigre 3250 glow or a Fujii Imvac BT-50 EI. I'm NOT a 3-D guy as a matter of fact I do not like 3-D becuase its just not scale. And I'm on little bit of a buget so that throws gassers like DA or 3W out the window.

I am a super tigre lover so I've been leaning a little toward the 3250, I have a 2300 on a goldberg sukhoi and absolutly love the thing. but I am a little worried wether or not the 3250 will pull this cap though the manuvers without struggling to much.

Wieght is another big concern of mine. I know I can get this plane weights less than 15 lbs. I got a goldberg ultimate to weght 6 lbs so I know I can do it.

So is the gas engine worth the wieght trade off or will the Super Tigre 3250 be the right engine?
