Default Which motor for this project

Help me find the perfect motor for this situation.

Have a Yellow Aircraft AT6 Texan.

Being totally scaled out and will be used for scale competition.

It currently has an older G62 installed but it is way too much power for scale flight.
It is also a pain to start.

I fly mostly turbines so I have not kept up with whats new on the market and whats running well, except for the Fuji 43ei, which I liked very much in a super chipmunk.

I need reliability and easy starting.

What would you guys suggest?

If you want a super smooth engine...get a Tarus. Best regards Capt,n http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_34...tm.htm#3414170 http://www.taurus-engines.com/
