Maybe that thrust to weight ratio also exists in glow powered fixed wing aircraft too but personally I have not seen one. Would love to if anyone has a link?

Don't Look much like a traditional Model air plane. What it is is a Dam good FPV racing platform that flies for may be 3 minutes. at best. But that's what is so great about this hobby. It's so varied that if U can't find something U like, then go buy a sail boat, a Lawn chair & a 6 pac. Then When U sober up U can wonder where the boat went
