spitfire power
i have a saito .91 in an 11 pound hacker spitfire and i need more power. the .91 just isnt cutting it against the local me-109s . i need a motor that will give me more speed. will a saito 1.25 give me a noticeable increase in speed and vertical. what do i need to get an 11 pound spitty to move out? saito 1.25, bcma 26cc, rcv 1.20 or any other suggestions?? thanks!

RE: spitfire power
try a 2 cycle .91 & it will fly well plus you'll have a chance NOT seeing the engine sticking out like the bigger 4 c.
oh & forget the gas > you wont's have any nose cowling left when your done![&:]
The Spitty's refined nose shape combined with its eliptical wings plays a major part in it's rare beauty.

RE: spitfire power
it should be fine. I had one with the MVVS .91 > it flew just fine at 3/4 throttle
i will build another one with the same setup
don't forget this is a scale bird, power management is part of scale flying > you DON"T want it to fly like the EXTRA!
