more power/ weight /size. do we need more power for weight, yes to a point. most planes are tail heavy and a larger engine could balance a plane with out more dead weight. I use the left stick and limit how much power is used, its just my personal idea.
we can generally find a engine that puts out more power with less weight " YS".
and the answer is we in the RC community are going toward larger engines for planes, that is a fact and I tend to like it. MORE POWER Lol
