Today I have received my Hangar 9 Piper Pawnee 80 inches and I need to decide about the engine. I have in my workshop a Saito 82 4S, but I am not realy sure if it is enough engine for this plane. I also have an OS 61 FX (2 strokes) with pitts muffler, probably with this engine I cah maintain more the visual scale. Saito 91 is too much?

I will appreciate very much if somebody can help me chosing the best engine configuration.

I have an old O.S. .61 FSR in mine which it flies it very nicely and it is totally concealed inside the cowl.

If I had to buy a engine, it would have been a 82 Saito...I had the OS-91..... I think the 82 is a very good choice

I have a saito 82 in my pawnee. It has plenty of power, and the balance works great without extra weight with this engine.

Finally today I flew my Hangar 9 Piper Pawnee 80, with a Saito 82. Great engine and great plane, perfect combination. It flew wonderful, very predictable and a perfect and soft landing. One of my best planes. Thanks to all for your help and opinions.
