It will fly with a 91 FS, but IMO you should use the largest and flattest prop possible, like a 15x4w. You don't want to fly it too fast, flutter. Make sure there is absolutely no slop in your linkages, and I would strongly suggest taping all your hinge lines. I have the bigger one also, with an MVVS 91. Great performance and it can land almost flying backwards. One of my favorites. You'll probably will have to keep yours faster depending on how high your wing loading ends up. Enjoy it
