Which Engine Should I use ???

[Scott Anderson]

Hello,

I use the OS91FX in a pattern plane and over the weekend Dennis Hunt from Zimpro had me do a test.. we ADDED lead to my 91 size viper and brought the dry weight up to 9.5 lbs and went and put a flight on it to see about the vertical ... And it went without a problem.. I'm running a APC 4 blade prop and 25% S&W fuel... also have added a perry pump to the set up last year runs great..

  I am going to be putting together an Exceleron 90.  I have 2 different engine options.  First is an OS FX91, second is an OS FS91 Surpass w/pump.  Both are NIB.  I have flow previous planes with a different 91FRX.  I am good with engines so I am not worried about any finicky engine issues with either one.  I have 2 two meter planes right now.  This plane is one that I want to be able to get home from work, grab it and go.  The 2 meter planes take a little bit more preparation to get them going quickly.  I want the plane to fly well with a good power curve.  I know that the 91FX will want to be flown a little bit faster, but how much I don't know.  Also would the FS91 II Surpass be enough to fly the plane well.  I will most likely be flying the intermediate pattern next year, so it doesn't have to be oh my God outrageous performance.  But I don't want tit to be a dog either.

  If there is anybody with any time on this plane that could shed some light on the situation it would be greatly appreciated.
