Default Page R2 Gee Bee

I just ordered an Adrian Page 60 size Gee Bee R2. He mentioned that this plane was designed for a Saito 91. I am having a hard time deciding between the Saito 91, Saito 100 and OS 91. I am leaning towards the Saito 100 since it is less than 1oz heavier than the 91. Any thoughts on this combination? Any suggestions on considering something else? Thanks in advance.

I know this is the ARF formum, this post started talking about an ARF, but I edited my first message to be more accurate.

I would go with the saito, for the 4 stoke sound. I always go with the bigger engine, it's easier to throttle down a little than not having enough power. Although there isn't much difference between the two engines.

Dean320,
I'd recommend the Saito 100. I built the Page GeeBee R2 and used my 100 in it. Fantastic combo. Flew really light althought I don't remember my all up weight anymore.
Check the strength and stiffness of the wood for the horizontal stabilizer, I lost mine due to high speed flutter when I tried to race a VooDoo Mustang. In my case, the wood was soft and I didn't use a long enough control horn. Since the elevator doesn't need to move much on this plane, I'd recommend using a long control horn and a short servo arm, or use the inner hole on the arm.
You'll like this plane, Adrian did a great job of designing light.
Anyone interested in fiberglass wheel pants? I bought them from Adrian but lost the plane before I ever got around to installing them.
