My 4*60 has clipped wing, much larger rudder and elevator. Here is what I want it to do; take off point straight up climb about 50 feet, pull it over on to its back, angle it down then 1/2 roll to up right followed by a nice touch-n-go! Ok maybe I'm dreaming but you get the picture. This type of flying sounds more suited to a 4 stroke (YS 91 maybe). How are the two strokes (OS 91 maybe) at slower aerobatic flying on the 4*60?

I don't have a 4*60 but alot of the guys in our club have them and they all use Saito FA100's. A really good match!

I cut one rib bay from each wing and rounded the wingtips; also increased the rudder 1 inch and rounded all the tail tips - just like the looks of rounded tips better.

I flew it with a Saito .91 4 stroke for a year and it did OK. Then needed the 4s for something else and put an OS .61FX in the 4*60....WOW, what a difference. It is a beautiful flying plane and will do all I ask.

Put a .91fx in it, and it will not quit going up, but I think that's overpowering it.

Im Flying mine with a 91 FX and 15/6 apcs. It is truley awesome. Not way overpowered, but just about perfect. I flew it for fun in an IMAC contest because I lost my Edge the day before to a radio glitch. The judges scored me and I took 1st place in Sportsman IMAC. The plane is just way fun with the 91. You can as I qoute

"take off point straight up climb about 50 feet, pull it over on to its back, angle it down then 1/2 roll to up right followed by a nice touch-n-go!"

if you really wanted to. Well any decent engine and you will have fun with it. I have all the coupling mixed out and you can knife edge from horizon to horizon. Hope this helps.

4*60 usa a Enya 90 4 strokeer, flys where ever you point it.
Just don't aim at a tree like i did
