There is one at our field with a G-26 and it flies very well. If I were you I'd get the OS due to the much lower initial cost and much cheaper fuel.

I fly a 4 star 120 with a magnum 120/ 15-8 Graupner @9200 static
flies very well will not pull out of a hover, knife edge as long as you like, so should be a rocket w/140dz, I have FZ140 and have been tempted to try it, but the 140 is going in my DP ultimate so, I just keep useing the magnum. LOL and let us know what hapens.
