The point should be made that ANY model airplane with ANY size engine can be abused in flight and caused to fail structurally. It might not happen on the first attempt, but it will happen eventually.
Throttle management is the name of the game.
If an engine isn't so large that the sheer weight of it doesn't stress the airframe, or that the vibration produced by the engine doesn't damage the airframe, the rest of what determines airframe failure is simply the piloting skill of the throttle management.
If one wishes to be "secure", fly an engine in the middle of the suggested displacement range. Even then, throttle management is very important.
I would like to have a Rascal 110 with an RCS 1.40 or an Evolution/MVVS 1.60 gasser in the nose. Zenoah's are cool too.
