RE: Sig Seniorita and Norvel 0.074
Considering that the Seniorita was designed for a .15 up to a .25, I think the little .074 would be in over its head. If you can find some way to lighten the plane up, however, it might work

Or you could build Bipe Flyers version called the 1/2A trainer - see the sticky at the top of the 1/2A forum. It's designed with the Norvel in mind.

See if anyone has flown it with an AP15.
If an AP15 can pull it around, a Norie074 can.
But given the trend of folks cramming a 52FourStroke on a .15-.25 plane... good luck finding someone that puts a .15 on where a .15 should go.

I think that's called the "Tim Allen Effect", from "Home Improvement"
I guess unlimited vertical climbing is what makes a flyable plane these days. Who cares if it can't glide, just so long as it can hover and pull itself straight up[&o]

If you feel that you want to discover what stall means and you want to play around with prestall and stall situations then you go on and try it. Put mini or nano servos; light battery and definatelly 15% Nitro fuel. It will be a good excersise to your flying skills. Always remember to fly it with excellent weather conditions cause if it is windy you might not fly the plane again.......Good luck!

I think it would work, it may take a 1/2 mile of runway so it might be better to hand launch it.and maybe have to narrow the nose a bit...I would try it if I had the stuff...I actually was gonna build a .40 size trainer (but much lighter, like light enough for 1 flight!) to try and fly with an .049-061 for my design contest, but had too much to do last year so I didnt even enter, maybe I'll give it a go this year...Rog
