Default RCGF 26bm on a Funtana 100x good match?

I'm new to gas, I still use mostly Glow motors but I want to run a gas motor on my Funtana, I have a fairly new Saito 125 from another plane that crashed, I don't think it has enough grunt for a 9 pound airframe so I've decided it's past time I tried gas.
i know the Funtana 90 and newer versions of it like a heavier motor on the nose, at first I was just going to do a DLE20, but I'm thinking the RCGH 26 would be better, its slightly heavier and a bit more power.
has anybody had any experience with the 26?

Have the Funtana S90 with a Saito 1.25, have a Funtana 100x with a Saito 1.25, have two Funtana 125's one with a DLE 20 the other with a SAP 180 (30cc). All fly great and have plenty of power to do anything.

My 125 was last mounted on a Hangar 9 Showtime 90, had good power for sure but I hate the cost of nitro when it's 30% heli being guzzled by a big four stroke. Besides I really want to try gas for the first time and the Funtana 100 is a great candidate for a 1st time gasser.
i haven't decided what to use the Saito on, it's a great motor and it will definitely see some use.

I think the idea of the 26BM (beam mount) is a great one! The 30's are too much really, and the 20's are fun to fly - but could use a hair more grunt - that the 26 should supply perfectly.
