what 4 stroke magnum engine would be good for the magic i want to go with magnum because of the cost

Well, no one else is piping in. So...

I'm not familiar with the smaller Magnums, but u need to watch the weight. Anything heavier than an OS 46 FX is going to be a problem as far as CG goes. I've heard of people using 32s and being happy. Check the weight on the Magnums and go from there.

There are a couple of magics running the ys63's, but thats alot of $$ on the nose of a $99.00 plane. They will perform great with a cheap two stroke (tt36 for 74.99), and be alot lighter.

If you use a four stroker on the nose, definately do not put the battery in the stock location under the tank. Move the battery (and maybe even the rudder servo) toward the rear of the plane. Otherwise, youre going to have to add a ton of lead ballast to the tail, and it wont handle like everyone on here is glowing about.
