This is a review of the Nieuport done by a friend.

It is way too light for a powerhouse as the 30. Use the 20, and add led as needed. It will fly better light than heavy:-) I think his was like 13 pounds...
My 2 cents
Gerry
use the 20 and add lead as it will fly better?
so then wouldn't it be better to use the DLE 30 and add no lead, and be able to cruise at low throttle thus giving a more realistic sound?
these planes do not need heaps of power to get airborne, but using an engine discp. that is going to have ample power to pull the model out of a mishap is always better than using one that has "just enough power". adding lead defeats the purpose of using a smaller lighter engine. you also have the luxury of using a prop with 3" more in diameter.
remember this, the Joe Topper flew his 1/4 scale Nieuport N28 with a Laser 300V and it was not overpowered or heavy.
