Yeah that's what I was afraid of...too much power. I'm not afraid to put more power in an airplane but I'm not looking to overspeed the airframe and rip the thing apart in-flight.

Does the Pulse XT40 fly as well as the 60 size? I was told that the 60size airplanes fly way better than their 40 size counter part. I was originally going to get an ultra stick but the wing area on the pulse was greater and it looks easier to fly. I haven't commited to anything yet so I'm open to suggestions. I don't want to go over $300 for the airframe or over a 60 size (anything over 6ft wing I wont be able to transport), but I want a gasser.

Thanks so far for yall's input so far.
