I dunno, its odd 20N goes from small to "big"

Actually 200N engines are relatively rare from my experience. Most I have seen are 100-170N.
I've only seen 1 P300 and it was custom ordered. The guy who has it was not a "my jet is bigger guy". That's the "180 is small 200 is large guy"

I have some sort of quality that makes certain guys want to compete with me for some reason. Probably because I go fly and knife edge a few feet up, which is just what I do for fun, not to show off.

My stuff is cheap and Id be a fool to spend lots of $$ on a model when I have 3 kids. Plus my wife isn't a doctor.

I am getting a new kingkat locally, I plan to put it away for several years. Not my type of jet but I am sure I will appreciate its trainer quality some day.

There is no point in competing for size. Someone else, with probably less modeling experience and skills than you but more cash, will always beat you. :-)
Just embrace it................let it go..................let it go................cant hold it back anymore.....................
