Hello,
I am new to this site and new to the hobby. I recently purchased a great planes piper 40. I know what you are all thinking why is he talking about a saito 72 or 82 that’s way too much. Well I purchased the kit to learn on and experiment with. I really like the cub, but I really got into the hobby for military planes and such, but a guy at my local hobby store said don’t go military right away. The reason I am trying to decide for the the two is because I want to be able to pull the motor later and put it in another plane, but I am also afraid of over powering the cub to. I believe on my Futaba 7C I can program it to not let the the throttle past a certain point which would also help, but I also read that not powering an engine to the max is bad for it. Can any of you please help me out I have read so many different posts and come up with different ideas all the time thank you.

Either would be a good choice, the .82 will more usefull later on, the .62 would the correct choice if not for the future needing a larger engine.

The 7C will allow you to set your end points where you need to on the throttle linkage. It is easy to do.

You don't have to run any engine wide open if you don't want to. I would just use my left hand as the throttle limiter so that I could use the full range if needed.

There's a guy at the flying field with several cubs and he just putters them around rather slow
