Hi wixkid.

I think if you use something in the 200W range you will be more than happy.
I am using a Hacker 20-20L on my old Airfoilz Edge 540 profile and it weighs in slightly more than the new Edge NX cause of the extra glue I've added over time. ;) I still does a good job and will take the plane vertical like a rocket with a 10X4.7 prop on it. You are going to love it. :)
Be sure to balance laterally, wing tip to wing tip, as it will make it much easier to do just about any 3-D move you can throw at it. :D
