I do have to plead guilty as charged because I believe my radio HAS a throttle and it is NOT on a two position switch, I am well known for bolting on more power than the 'book' calls for. As an example, the current bird was designed around a G-62 and it is going to get a 3W-75 but there have been some structural adds made to reduce the risk.

What are your benefits / reasons behind adding more power to your airplanes than what the manufacturers recommends?.

I do the same thing myself, but I would like to compare my reasons with an experienced, intelligent and safety conscious person like you.

Thanks in advance for your prompt response.

BTW, I am a proponent of the fact that an under-powered RC Airplane is more dangerous than an overpowered airplane.

Regards

Ben
