Kyosho Gee Bee engine recommedations
Iwas wondering what kind or engine I should put in my newly aquired Gee Bee by Kyosho. I'm thinking about a Magnum XL 80 FRS four stroke, but I'm not sure it will fit inside the cowl. I was also thinking about a Saito 100, but the extra money is a consideration to be made. Does anyone have any suggestions?

An OS 70 4-stroke should be here for mine on Tuesday

OS's .91 FX (Like so many other companie's larger-than-sixty's) fits the same mount pattern. It's also real close weight wise.
Of course power wise it's overkill. A bit like swatting one al-queda with a battleship....
