Default RE: Replacing a .40 engine with a .60 in a Trainer

Put the engine on... and don't use full throttle.

Yes... its a fair amount more power than the aircraft needs. But if you have the self-discipline to NOT fly at full throttle, the airplane will be fine.

You can use full power for a fast climb rate... that's OK. Full power in a tight loop will rip the wings off. THAT is why its too much engine.

By learning power management... you will actually fly better in the long run. So if you manage the power and keep the wings on... its a very good idea.
