Default 3 lb 25cc engine on Triplane?

Personal opinion? As to the 25cc engine, Way too much weight on the nose and not a lot of power to show for it. A 70 size 4 cycle or a 60 size 2 cycle is just fine.

Remember this is only a 6 lb airframe. Keep the wing loading down, use the recommended engine size
