Looked at the model online. Personally speaking now, I would be looking to put a .60 size engine in it. I have the smaller Great Planes Revolver that performs very nicely with an OS .55AX, to the point that nobody believes that it is powered by only a .55 size engine.

Thank you. Thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

The os fs 95 v should work too.
That would have been my choice on my current build but decided to go gas.
