Default RE: Great Planes 60 size reactor bipe

This looks like a very nice plane. I have trouble with high wing loading biplanes ( crashed 2 so far ) and this looks like something
I can land. I would like some comment on engines for this bird. Limited to what I have on hand OS 91FX, OS H80 ( antique ), and
Magnum 91 XL ( 4s ). They all are about the same weight depending on muffler and all are slightly less weight than a OS 61FX.
The 91FX is by far the most powerful, The H80 with dual plugs is probably the most reliable and the Magnum is a good 4 stroke.
They all will do OK with a 14X6 prop. I plan to use the plane for IMAC Basic practice with the control throws set low and fulfill my
need for one biplane in the fleet.
