Default RE: not the same old engine question

Scott,

I posted some info about my 540T / G62 combo last week, and unfortunately can't remember were I posted it, but I said that my combo had come in at a couple oz. over 21 lbs. Which admittedly sounded ridiculous. Well it turns out that I was in fact wrong or I should say, the scale I used to weigh it, was. Anyway I used a digital fish scale to check it again and it came out 19 lbs 5 oz. Not satisfied, I took it to the local UPS and asked them to check it, and they got 19 lbs 4 oz. which made me feel good about the fish scale. This long story leads me to your question. Will it fly well on a G62? Mine flies good enough to do BASIC possibly SPORTSMAN level IMAC. It certainly will not climb "OUT-OF-SIGHT" or "HOVER FOREVER", but it does fly. Also at that weight it lands very fast. I have the stock G62, spring starter and magneto. I'm not sure what the Extra special weighs, but If it comes in around 16 to 17 lbs it should fly very well.
