I agree sandy and was gonna comment same, but figured I'd better mind my own business. so since you have here goes....lol

the 60 would be too heavy on that plane, very nose heavy making some balance weight on the ass end necessary, all of which adds up to a heavier airplane and heavier does not fly better despite what some people might tell you.

mine had an os40 and you wouldn't need any more power than that, even if you were trevor. lol

I once was given an already heavy zero fighter 40 sized, and because of the short nose hard to balance. I screwed on a .60 and it balanced then, but man what a disaster that was. a dog, dog, dog, dog, very difficult in every way.

Before you cover might want to check that. Gouge out the balsa from the bottom of the heavy side. Gonna to have to balance the plane anyways. Grant
