Default RE: Matching Engines to Airframes

I know Kris, a lighter plane always flies better. We have discussed this at the field, and we would just slam the plane together with a big engine for simplicity. If this was wrong nobody would do it. I personally would love to see yours go, and see what it feels like on the sticks. But its great for others to keep experimenting for everyones better future.

Dick, I know H9 frowns on it, DP frowns on gassers in his planes but I have a 50cc in his DP Extra... Its all about throttle management. I wany my planes to ROCKET out of the hover, I like vertical drag races, and mine loses. Id like to beef up the zdz80 on my sukhoi, but I dont want a hidous tuned pipe setup hanging on the bottom of the plane. Tell me what I can do in the cowl and I might try it out.
