If you fly a little faster you can still fly reasonable size loops using part energy, part wing and part power! Flight times will be 8 minutes because of high power use.

I agree with Dave, I have two CARF Hawks, one on a Cheetah, the other on P-120sx. They are both over powered, the Cheetah one more so but, I am certain they would do decent on 22lbs. Longer take off and no screaming verticals but, would perform much closer to a scale Hawk.
