Default RE: ESM 74

Stoneke:I fly at 3700 ft or so, using a G-38 with a 17 x 10 Zinger prop. The plane weighs about 18.5 lbs. Powerwise, its OK (kind of scale), but not extra fast or unlimited vertical.
I have no experience with either radial, so based on looking at the prop size and some quick prop calcs, the 170 performance (speed and thrust) look similar to the G-38. The 200 with a little more speed and thrust would be nice.
