Default What size engin to use



Hi Guys.

I just bought myself a North American AT-6 Texan 160 - 82"
I still need an engine and was looking at the three cylinder Saito FA200 R3 engine for this model.
Can anybody give me some feedback and suggestions regarding this idea?
Would it be over or under powered? I prefer it to be over power by quite a bit!!

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Andre

Thanks Jeffo. I think in terms of power that would be the way to go. I just thought that a radial would sound and look more scale.
Anyway I suppose its better to have a plane that flies well than one that looks scale but cant get off the ground.
All the best.

regards
Andre
