Default RE: Is this engine too big?

Thanks for the quick reply guys.

Hey Kurt, that makes a lot of sense, I hope the wood near the tail is stiff enough to handle the servo and won't rip off in flight, anyway if it does, it's just the rudder right?

Well, my main concern is weight, maybe i'll end up with a hot landing airplane since theres some difference in weight between de 51 and the 61. My second main concern is that I don't know if my brains will be able to resist the temptation of going full throttle

I used to fly a WM Mentor (with the G51) untill the receiver just stopped working... in the middle of a low "high speed" pass [:@] I think there's a cute little balsa tree growing right now in the point of impact [&o]

Ohh gee, I really liked that plane, it was fast (at least for me, it was my 2ยบ airplane) and I was going to buy another but I don't know, I wanna try something different.

Damn, I must be annoying, i'll shut up now

Oh, I thought i'd share this with you, this was the last succesfull flight of the mentor, before it crashed

If anyone has experience with this plane/engine combo i'd like to know about its behaviour
