Default Twist 3D 60. Is this enough power...

I have a superr tiger 75 laying around. Will that be enough engine to really fly the twist. I know it will fly the thing but I am unfamiliar with these engines and need to know if I can fly the pants of the twist with the ole ST 75.

The extra is flying great once I got rid of the toasted motor I got from a member on here. (no names) IT wouls get to running temp and loose all compression and die. Crashed 3 times till I realized what was happening. Traded a perfectly good saito 82 and got ripped. Be careful>>>who you deal with.

I am not familiar with how much power that engine makes but I know with a saito 82 the plane is underpowered. I would think your engine makes about the same power as my saito and i could barely hover with it.

I was told by some of my club members to put a saito 100 or a os 91. ( a new one) on the twist 60 and it will hang on the prop no problem. I had a saito 125 in it and it was truely amazing but I had to harrier it in every time due to lack of prop clearance with a 17x4.
