I know theres like amillion posts on the new h9 funtana but i cant seem to find any info on the best engine. I am set on either getting a saito 72 or 91 and more than likely running 30% heli fuel sience me and my dad together will be only flying saitos. I live in nebraska and we are at an elevation of abot 1100-1200 fett if it matter i herd it does. i pln to do all out 3d with it.

Mike the 72 is a good option. Its a balance between weight and power. There are some peoplle who have karger 91 and 100 ssaitos on thjeirs but I have no info as to its setup. 72 is a safe bet if you ask me

I have a 100 in mine. I would highly recommend going with the 91 if you have it. If not get the 100. You will not need to run 30% with the 91 or 100. I run 15%, and i could easily run 10% if i wanted to. I had the .72 on mine and with a 13-4W prop and 15% it had no reserve left to pull out of a hover. You will hear a lot of opinions on this topic. I have had both engines in the same plane and bigger is better. It is still just as stable with the 100 in it as it was with the .72 except now i have plenty of power to get me out of trouble if need be. Hovering now is below half throttle spinning a 15-4w apc prop.
