Mark, I have 2300 AES. I think this is plenty of power. You could always try both. I have 1700 also and may try that at a later time. These particular tray are the stock plates covered in Ultracoat. I also have some ABS in there as well. I have 8411's on the ail. and rudder, 9411 on steering, 3421's on elev. and HS 5645's on flaps which are not used but would go with something big on the flaps perhaps in an analog.
