I guess I am just spoiled now by the more lightly loaded planes. However, if I
already had the equipment on hand, I think I would do the same as you and give
it a try rather than spending the money on another engine. Maybe I am wrong about
3D being marginal with that heavier engine. That was just my opinion. You will never
know until you try it. Give us a flight report when you are done. I am just curious because
I used to own that plane. We need some good weather around here. I am spending too much
time looking at these forums when I could be flying.
