If they have under rated the engine requirements like they often do it might work fine. I think I would post a question in the kit or aerobatic forum (or where else, anyone?) about what engine others have used to get the right power to weight and balance. You need to look at the all up weight of this plane and how it would balance with the DLE 20 up there. The good news is that most 60's weight as much as more as the 90's do, and the DLE 20 weighs barely more than most 90's.

I know its a .60 sized plane and the 20cc is obviously overkill but my question is, will it work? I am just looking for it to be gas powered and reliable. I already own a dle 35 in my Pilot Rc Edge 540 and love it. Any advice? Or am I plain nuts? LOL
Thanks in advance,
