Do you want to spend $600, plus $80-$100 more for a muffler? Or do you want to spend $399 including a muffler? The 3MM TOC 53 is well supported by DawghouseRC in Indiana. No brainer to me.

I've got the Aviation Models Extra 260 30% with a DL-50 and Hitec 5985 servos on everything but the rudder. It's a 5955TG. Can't go wrong with that combo and it won't break you.

For those of you that actually answered my question and gave me honest answers without some kind of kind of off the lip comment.

Thank You!

I know there are a lot of engines to choose from out there. Coming from flying electrics I want to be able to look at all my options and make the best choice I can.

Here is the link to the site for the plane. The flyer that I have with the plane says a flying weight of 12.12lbs however the sites labels it as 14.5lbs which is probably more accurate.
