Default Power For Great Planes PT19

I need a little help what engine to put in my new PT19. I have a Thunder Tiger91 a Saito100 and a Saito 120 and now an extra Saito 180 from my Rascal 110. With a flat bottom wing I think the 180 will be too much.
Thanks
Howard

I saw a review somewhere that used an OS 91 four stroke that said it flew the plane well.

Mine has a Saito 1.00. Flies at half throttle most of the time. Great combo!

Go with the Satio 100 or 91 FS. My plane had a 100, took offf and flew at half throttle. The 180 is too much engine.

My brother has the great planes pt-19 and we put my saito .91 in for the powerplant. The plane flies perfectly. All the power you need. It flies very scale-like with the .91. I also have a Saito 100 but haven't tried it in the pt yet. Anything larger than the 100 size might pose a weight problem in the front??? Have fun, this is one of my favorites to look at and fly.

I have flown this on the Great Planes Flight sim , is it as sweet as a plane in real life as it flts on the sim? Sorry for the dumb question but thinking of getting one and it seems to fly like a trainer

Well I put in the 91 FX and it flew great! Easy controls and nice easy landing. I changed out the wheels but otherwise it was just as I expected. Can't wait to get the floats on it!
Thanks all!
Howard
