the real Victa Airtourer was designed and built long ago by an Australian lawn mower company that is still around today. Victa.

I am currently flying one, OS 91FS, and it is a sweet scale type flyer. Many years ago I owned the real thing and the model flies just the same. Capable of scale type aerobatics and a forgiving flyer.
The only modification's to to kit was to add a additional nose wheel bearing for extra support for the canted nose wheel leg and bigger wheels for flying of long grass.
And with such a big canopy,be sure to put in a pilot.

I just bought the plane and it really looks great. How is the vertical with the 91FS? I was thinking of a Magnum 120FS or a OS 120 2 stroke. What aerobatics does it do for you?
Thanks,
Dave

The 90 fs will fly the Airtourer in a very scale manner. For many years I owned a Airtourer putting hundreds of hours in the aircraft.
The airtourer was available in 100, 115, 150 hp fixed pitch and 150 constant speed versions. Some were later modified to 180 hp, so scale aerobatics with the model are close to the 150 hp version.
The 90 fs will not give you unlimited vertical but plenty of climb performance.

Thanks for the input, I have been leaning toward the 120fs and it looks like that will be my choice
