How will this plane handle a p180??
I am worried about weight with my must have smoke system and bigger engine, of a grass field.
What you think is better lighter or more power to get off the grass faster???
thanks
Bill
It is usually landings that damage the gear, so I would go with a 160 turbine & keep it as light as possible. Spend the extra money on a heavy roller for the field & fill in any holes.
