Default RE: E-flight 160 for a Brio ??

Rodney,
Thanks, that's the sort of info I'm looking for. No need to run a larger motor if it isn't needed. I figured I would need at least 1600-1750 watts to pull the plane well. It's an older design, the Dream 110, but it flew so dang well on the 1.20 I figured I'd stay with it to enter pattern. I haven't weighed it in awhile, but IIRC it was at about 8 to 8 1/2 lbs at that time. The bottom cowl runs from the nose to the wing trailing edge so there looks to be plenty of room to fit everything in there, just need to add some cooling air exit holes. What size/brand ESC did you use? Thanks RT.
Mark

**Just saw the additional pics RT, that was a tight squeeze getting it all in the Desire. I'm pretty certain I'll be able to get everything located underneath for and aft of the gear mount! Thanks again for sharing the info, much appreciated!
