RE: New Pulse XT 60.....engine choice?
I have the Pulse 60 with a Saito 100 swinging a 14x8 APC prop. It's mounted straight up, not sideways or inverted. The engine is really a bit too much for that plane. It will go airborne in a very short takeoff roll. I usually fly it at about half throttle. One nice thing with that engine on this plane is the vertical climb performance. Go to full throttle, point the nose up, and it will put a smile on your face for sure.
