Default FW 190 Power options.

Hi guys,

I have a FW 190 Dora that I am bashing into the A variant ( because of balance issues). I need to know what engine size (4C) would power it well. It is roughly 1/8 scale ( 1.3m span/51"). I was thinking of putting a magnum .61 4 stroke on it but I looked at the Kyosho arf which recomends a 0.52 to a 0.56 size 4 strokes. The kyosho has a 55" built up wing.

The plane I have was given to me about 15 years ago as an already built kit. Being a fairly old kit (make unknown), it was built very strongly and it has a sheeted foam wing. All this makes it a bit heavier than the ARF.

What would your reccomendations be?
