The radial isn't nearly as strong as the EME 55 that was in the plane. However, it has plenty of power for good scale flying. My plane is light at just under 22 lbs. The engine is still getting broken in and is getting better each time. It turned the TF 22x10 at about 6200 rpm on the ground. Follow the Saito instructions to the letter and you should enjoy the engine very much.
