The ST 90 is a shaker. I've had two and they both vibrated badly enough to shake the airplane apart. Your airframe will last much longer with the Saito 100. Most people prefer the 4 strokes for aerobatics anyway because they accelerate faster from low throttle settings and spin a nice wide prop. An APC 16 x 4W on that 100 will yank that Edge out of a hover.

I had a Satio 100 in mine. It flew great. However I would have enjoyed a little more power. You might consider a 120 four stroke. It will really be the better choice I think.

I agree with Ken. I have one with a Saito 100. It flies well, but is not a 3-D monster. I wonder, though if the 1.20 would be too heavy.

The 120 is 9 ounces heavier than the 100. Add 4.5 ounces of tail weight to balance it and you have added almost a pound to the weight of a 7 1/2 pound airplane. Not only will it fly like a brick, you probably won't see any improvement in vertical performance either.

No need for added weight, just move the rudder servo to the tail. Also might consider the YS 110 The 140 would be WILD

Run 30% nitro in that 100. It won't lack for power.
