Default RE: Mister E engine size?

@flybyjohn
From what I can tell I belive the aircraft would be a good choice for that sized engine. I've flown many E-flite 480 motor aircraft and putting a .15 glow powered engine in there should do the trick. Just be sure to keep your weight close to what the aircraft was built for. Just be aware that you'll probably need to fly the aircraft more like the "real thing". I say this because often times rc pilots will over power their airplanes (a power to weight ratio of higher then 1:1) and when they get into trouble (e.g., stall close to the ground) they can throttle it up, blast off, and break free. When you are flying with a weight ratio that is not 1:1 but more like the real deal - you'll just need to be aware that your plane will handle differently.Ok, I'm off my aviation lesson soap-box.

I like your choice of aircraft!
