ARF manuf. engine recommendations
Are particular ARF manufacturers guilty of making bad engine recommendations or is this phenomenon limited to Warbird ARFs that require more weight up front? The reason I ask is it seems some hobbyists complain about going with the recommended engine only to have to add a ton of dead weight to balance the plane. I would like to hear some anecdotes on personal experiences where you went with the recommended engine and the outcome. Also, I think it would be interesting to hear where you've gone far from the recommended (larger, heavy or smaller, lighter then manuf. suggestion) and had it turn out just right. I just want to get an idea of the possibilities and which ARF manuf have no idea what they are recommending.
