Actually, if it's too much power you can throttle it down a bit and still run near peak setting if you leave the RC carb on. Or, you can just richen the needle a bit.

Kool! I'm so anti-RC, never realized a throttle/carb setup might be JUST the ticket, if the engine's too strong for the plane/pilot.
Scored two engines last nite; a K&B .20 Sportster, and a Norvel .25. Ain't sure if the latter's a big mig or not. Just has NV .25 embossed on the cylinder wall.
Figured I'd start out ez, with the .20, then graduate to the .25 as skill and confidence develop--that's assuming skill and confidence DO develop. Lotta feedback on searches for "K&B Sportster," but it's all been RC. Any of you CL flyers had any experience with this K&B model?
Thanx, gcb, for the common sense response.
