Nearly all of our planes are over powered and underweight compared to the real ones.
This is my excuse for building most of my scale models overweight and underpowered!
It is up to the pilot to make it look like the big lumbering full sized plane.
I'm not so concerned with having the model LOOK like it's flying in a scale manner. I want it to FEEL to me like it's flying scale. (By the way, in another thread that I started long ago, we discussed how it is that we somehow do "feel" how our models are flying. For example, we can "feel" when the model is "heavy" and we can "feel" when it's "wallowing.")
