ENGINE
 
Mig,
If you can keep your balance respectable, I would go with the 120.
The H9 t-craft hits the scales at around 15 pounds. I have a g23 glow on mine......You have a simiular aircraft but lighter.
You can always throttle back. If your weight management is in the range of not having to put a boat anchor on the tail...I would go with the 120. I would even think about placing a larger fuel tank forward to manage the cg and weight .
The biggest dissapointment I have had with a plane is underpowered.
Good Luck,

How many do you need flying???
 
Well Shortman,
There will be a time when you get tired of flying one...and you obtain another....then you see the new one that comes out.....then you buy one at a show.....then you trade one for two....then you ...well you get the idea.......You see I have 45 years on you....you will understand in time.
I am retired, I make good money, I had rather spend it on a good airplane than a woman...something you will have to learn in time.
Women are automatic.
Flying takes skill.
Good luck my friend.

Engine for Goldberg Decathlon
 
I love scale areobatics, that's why I'm going with the Saito 100. It's one fine engine with enough power to fly the Decathlon "scale like".

Saito 100
 
I will state without reservation....The Saito 100 is the best engine in my hanger..
