Overweight/underpowered is a highly subjective thing. I've seen recent comments that a .60 size engine is inadequate for a .60 size plane. I do not agree with the people who assert that trainer planes should be equiped with engines that allow 70 degree climbouts "to help get them out of trouble". Better that they learn on a moderately powered plane that planes can fly just fine when airspeed and altitude are properly managed. Besides, I was commenting on the companies that make the products, not those who sell them. Anyway, this thread is about helping someone decide on what kind of plane to begin with.
