Just picked up a GP Big Stik 60! Engine Recommendations?
Since the OS 46fx engine on my NexStar has been *issing me off, I decided it was time to step up and order my second airplane while troubleshooting the engine gremiln. After much research, I decided on a Big Stik 60! Just ordered it up from Tower Hobbies and should be here next week in time for the long holiday weekend over July 4th. Can't wait to get it.
Now, I need to buy an engine. I've now decided that though OS engines are nice, they aren't immune to their own issues. I'm thinking something in a 90 sized two stroke. I've heard lots of good reviews of SK engines and their .91 is only $108 shipped, which seems like a steal. Anyone think this would be a good match for my new STIK? I also looked at a ST G90, but I heard there can be carb problems and lots of tuning issues. Any other recommendations for engine brand and size? I live at a higher altitude and was thinking an engine larger than a .60 would be ideal.</p>
