Default Seagull Edge 540 v2 2 stroke engine choice

I'd like to hear from owners on what size 2 strokes are going in these things.

I fly mine with a Webra 1.20, and that allowed me to not have to add any nose weight, and I pull a 17x4 prop. I have seen this plane fly on a 91fx, and it was ok, but not extreme. I think a 1.00 or 1.20 2 stroke is optimum for this airframe.

I wonder if you could go nuts and put an os 1.60 on it without making it too nose heavy.

Hmmmm, not sure about that. This is an awfully light plane. The Webra 1.20 gives insane unlimited vertical, so I can imagine the 1.60's would be intense. I think a Saito 1.50 would be the ultimate motor in this plane. I am thinking of building another.

I have a YS 91AC in mine and I am really satisified with the preformance. Plenty of power for normal aerobatics. Has unlimited verticle Engine runs great and pulls great. I use YS20/20 fuel by Powermaster and a 16x4 wide blade APC prop. I am not into 3D so I never tried to hover or do any other 3D manuvers. I am really happy with this combo.
