Hay guys, this is my second post, I am about to start a 60" funaero albatros II build up but i wanted to ask a few things on engine choice. I Looked over the build up of the Albatros III post that was done that has the 65" wing span. My plans call for a 91 4stroke and the shop near me carrys the OS type engines or should i have him order the saito. I do have a supertigre g90 in the box that was to be used on a p40 that i have yet to build but i do not think its a 4 stroke. Which make do you think? I know some just have personal likes and dislikes, but do they differ. If you like neither which one and why. Please be aware (if you suggest another engine) of the nose cowl of the albatros, so space and cooling is a concern. Thank you for any help guys.

I buildt the FA Alba DIII about 3 years ago. On mine it took about 8-10 oz of lead to balance using a Saito 91 and AUW was 8#. I did some scale detail but I would not sheet the stab to eliminate some tail weight. Mine also has flying wires so with weight and drag, the Saito 91 is just enough engine, and that is maxed out at 10, 200 using a 14/6 APC prop. Either a OS or Saito 91 will fly the plane but you might consider the Saito 100 as an option. If you could bet it to balance and eliminate the extra lead, then either 91 would be mo better.

I prefer Saito 4 strokes if for any other reason they are cheaper. I have both.
