Default Which Gasser for Katana Extreme?

How do you guys feel about a Brison 2.4 on one of these Katanas? I'm having trouble deciding between the Brison or an MVVS 26 with pipe. The Brison has been reliable as a rock, while the MVVS is has been finicky and very peaky. I was also considering goiung to a Pitts type muffler on the MVVS as well.
I'm leaning toward the Brison simply because I want something insanely overpowered and reliable, but on the other hand I don't want to kill the foamy like wing loading or the airframe.

Any thoughts?

Maybe you would have better luck asking in the Giant scale or Gas Engine forums. I know the larger scale guys at our field are in their own world as far as engines goes. [8D]

I was also thinking of getting one of these katanas but with a zenoah 38cc engine. What are you planning to do with it

I'll second the vote for a Brillelli gasser. I have 2 of them and both are rock solid engines. No dead sticks here and plenty of power when you need it. I would suggest the new Brillelli 36GT. The total weight of the engine with muffler, mounts and ignition in only 50oz. It has the power of a good 40cc engine and comes in a little smaller size. Scott at Brillelli is known for his customer support after the sale so you'll recieve the help when you need it.

P.S. I am going to be putting a Brillelli 36GT in the UltraRC 29% Giles.

Well, since I sold the MVVS and I HAVE the Brison 2.4, the question now is gas or electric. Hmm...
