RCS 140 and 3D
 
I really think this is a cool engine. However, I don't know if it has the power/weight for 3D. Does anyone know of a plane it would be good in for 3D?

Guy at our field has one on a Hanger 9 Ultra Stick. Seems to do real good.

I am currently flying the RCS140 on an Aeroworks .90 size Edge540T ARF. 65" wingspan, weighs about 11.5lbs. Flies great. Turning an APC 16x8 prop at 8400rpm on the ground.

I have one on a Goldberg Extra 300 at 9-3/4 lbs I have unlimited vertical , turning a 16-8 at 8500
it will TR , however the goldberg does not appear to be a great choice for other 3d ,it becomes very unstable close to stall speeds , at least thats been my experience
