You can go smaller and be fine also. Peter Goldsmith won topgun 2 times with planes everyone else would call underpowered. You don’t need big power on a scale plane when you fly it in a scale like manner.
Hey was not trying to start an argument. I have a K140 in my T1 and I very rarely use full throttle unless I am going vertical. If the Yak is something I end up with and I see how it flys for others I may swap a 120 into my T1 and use the 140 for the yak. If I get one I may put some stores on the bottom but don't think I will go full out "going to war" armament.
Chris, I will definitely be at FJ this year to take a look at what you guys have and see how it flys.
