Status: offline 		well I see the guy who said "get off your arses" was legitimate all I asked was a simple question and 20 people looked but no reply? guess I'll go back to 1/2a and parkflyers, or heli's for my LMH , maybe I'll waste my servos on a pbf after I crash them..Rog

Status: offline 		I would say that the .15 will keep it airborne, but it will be working it's tail off...there's really only one way to find out...and that's try it! I'm flying a 20 x 24 pizza box with a .15 and it flies great, but the .15 really isn't strong enough to hover and do the fun stuff the PBF's are famous for.

Status: offline 		I'd say give it a try as it is, and see. Depending on the gear, it could be enough, and it might not be.
Unfortunately, cutting it down won't save that much weight. It'd save some i guess, say you went to a 20x20, that would save 3 oz, which isn't alot.
Especially for a foot and a quarter of wing area that you lose. Due to the nature and weight of coro, sometimes its not feasible to get the same performance out of any size of plane, like you can with balsa.
I'd try it with the 15 and see how it does, if it doesn't have enough oomph, sell the 15 and get a good 25 or 28 for it (or even a plain bearing 40).
