Default RE: Engine choice?

ORIGINAL: rabbid fly

The question i have here is.What engine would perform the best in a EU-1a . I have four engines to choose from.
1. Rossi 61 black head
2.Webra 61 L.S
3 YS61
4 Hanno 61 either ABC or ringed.
Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks.Phil


I'm not a pattern hotshot, but that doesn't prevent me from having an opinion.

IIRC, the EU-1A was designed to be powered by the high revving piped engines of the era. This was substantially before the era of the super slow/quiet long stroke engines, which, contrary to popular opinion, did not produce the horsepower of the earlier high revving engines.

Oops! Forgot the engine I would choose. It would be the Rossi, if it was a high revving old style engine, which I think it might be.
