Miniature Aircraft Nitro/Gas Helicopters > YS-80-Fit in Xcell 60 ST?

I bought an Xcell 60ST that has a Long Ranger body on it. It has never been flown. I am wondering if I can put a YS-80 in it. The helicopter is last years model. I am not sure if a 60 size YS is enough to power it.
Thanks for any help...

A YS 61 is plenty of grunt, unless that body was built with Sack-Crete or you plan to 3F the thing.

Two friends have/had the MA LongRanger fuse on basic ST mechanics. Both flew fine with OS 61 SX engines.

Frank Baity had an absolutely gorgeous one that he sold to Mike Homic last year. Frank flew it quite a bit before deciding that he absolutely had to have another Pro. You can probably run him down on the X-Cell or Comp Heli lists. If not, I have a work # that I'll send you back channel.

I'm planning on doing this myself, and talked at length with Frank. He has a lot of good tips to consider.

David and Steve,
The reason I was asking was because I have a new ST-2 that I can use but was not sure if more power was needed or not. I have a YS-80 that I was planning on putting in my Freya but was going to put it in the Long Ranger if the ST-2 would not be enough but sounds like it will be. I take it the stock gearing for the Xcell ST is 9 to 1? I was planning on using a set of Razor 710's to put on it that I already have. Is that too much blade for the ST-2 engine? Steve if you have his number and can get it to me that would be great.
Thanks you guys!
