Perfect Engine for GP Lancair?
 

My friend in Germany has gotten his hands on a Great Planes Lancair...
Now since his birthday is not far away, I want to buy him an engine...
What do you all think would be a perfect engine for this plane?
Would a os FS91 II Surpass do the Job?

A perfect engine for a Lancair??... well I love YS engines.. sooo
a YS 110 FZ would be awesome on that plane. :D
It would be a great idea to get it at central hobbies. I just bought one there for $323. Or probably you might want to look for the discontinued YS 91, some dealers still have one... its same weight as the 110.. but If you dont want to overpower the plane..that engine should be great.
Some people would say that is overpowering it.. so also a Saito 91 or 100 would be also great. (But..compared to the YS 110..well.. thats another story :D )
I dont like OS 4-stroke engines, Ive had bad experiences with them, a lot of dead stick landings...

the os 91 fi can't beleave i said that well the os runs good now don't know when it counts but i have run 4 os four strokes today to go on toys they all cranked up great ran fine on the first tank

but if he flys 3d the ys 110 all the way lancair's like to torque roll and it won't be over powered just right powered

hehe, I dont know.. I dont know If he was being sarcastic..
well anyway I believe A YS or a Saito, any of both would be a great choice.

no i was joking .:D they have a very weak wing . if you even think of snap rolling it will fold like a bad hand of cards . i am putting the os 91 fuel injecten on mine . but the ys would be cool . any four stroke that will fly it right will stick out of the cowl .

whew,,, thats good. course, I`m sure some one will want to know if the new Top Flite P 51 arf will 3d. Trust me,, some will try.....scale plane, scale flight characteristics mean nothing to some.
