I know!! I had a 1/3 scale Cub with a DA 100 on it and it was like crack! It was just so much more fun to fly, I really do like to fly scale, which is something not often seen at our flying fields. However, it's so nice to just be able to throw in another handful of throttle and defy gravity once in a while.
I have a Ziroli DC-3 in all FliteMetal which is the one airplane I intentionally did not overpower. I'm planning on doing this P-51 in Flitemetal as well and sub 30 lbs will likely be a stretch.
I was just down at Top Gun a couple of weeks ago and the Warbirds there were "well powered" and it was very cool (albeit not realistic) to watch them pull themselves skyward with little effort.
