Friends, I'm confused. We no longer know what to do with the engine. Any new idea, install the g-26 mag version? in my TF Stagerwing?

I sure wish I had a video of the G-23 powered one I mentioned to show the doubters it was plenty of power and was not a trecherous beast. The fellow flying it loved it's performance and flew other warbirds as well. Perhaps that is a key...knowing how to fly and land a heavier than usual airframes.

I fly all size planes, light and heavy. Preference is to heavier as you must treat the model like a full scale and pilot it accordingly. Overpowering does not solve problems and often creates a difficult to control model.
