Default Engine for Kyosho Cap

Help,
I used the engine intended for my 40 size Kyosho Cap 232, (Saito .72) in my World Models P-51. Now I'm ready to start work on the Cap, I don't know which engine would work best. I have an OS 46 FX, an ASP .46, and a Thunder Tiger GP .61 . Any suggestions from someone with one of these? Is the .46 enough? Is the .61 too heavy?

Thanks,
Randy

I had a saito 65 in mine, flew great. a friend put a saito 90 in his, it was awesome! The 46 should be plenty of power.
Have fun, Randy

I am putting a .91 4s on mine. I put pinned hinges(probably won't waste time doing it again in future) and put pull-pull on elevator and rudder with seperate servos on elev halves. I should be able to fly it on next good weekend I have. I can't wait, I've heard a bunch of good stuff about it That saito .72 would probably be a great match for it.

Regards,
Philip

Try the OS 50sx...GREAT engine in a 40 size but MAJOR POWER!! Should pull that Cap anywhere and however you see fit without complaint.
