What are the specs on the Glasscraft and how did you find one?

To really haul arse with a TD.010 you need to be in the 2 - 3.5oz RTF range
The NANO 1 (3oz) has a 18in span the N2 has 16in span 2.2oz.

I imagine the TD .020 will be the better choice if you want top end speed.
The battery can be placed to get the TD .020 in check CG wise. If you can
squeeze in a throttle sleeve and 3rd servo as having control of the speed will
for sure make the maiden flight more viable for survival should the trims and
throws be a handful.

The TD .010 can keep the weight off the frame and make landings less harmful
over time if the Sq. In. is less than 40 the N2 is 36 and is just fine if landing into
any breeze but down wind the low weight has the elevator working hard to scrub
off speed. The N1 is a perfect no fuss plane with a TD .010 with the TD .020
It will be a bit more of a handful with so much power.

You can reference the size differences here to extrapolate your final engine
choice.



The N1 could have been improved for the TD .010 with what I know
now these proportions are perfect for a bit more speed with good stab stability.
You can compare further with the glasscraft design. Of course if we where talking
elect. all this would be easy peasy everything counts with IC for best performance.
Servo choice and rx control the room S1 lipo vs 4cell nicad the N1 helps with room
the glasscraft I imagine will hold 1.9g servos with ease.
