I love light, low wing loading, strong with high power to weight planes. Then you think of the wind as a friend to play with. It's not something to fly in spite of and defeat but something to enjoy by using it to let your plane do things it normally can't do.

Think along the lines of Telemaster or Kadet but built extra light and still strong.

While a lot of people don't agree with me on this part, I think they're wrong - you want a powerful, light engine. Again, you're doing what you can to keep the weight down but you still want the power. People will disagree because they think these engines belong in speed planes, but there's more than one purpose for high power to weight.
