Yeah, I can believe it. Supertigres tend to be pretty big, that's why I never messed with their 2500's or whatever sizes they are. I can believe that a .60 size would be heavier than a Saito. I know a few others that have some pretty heavy 60's, I think they're using the .90 bodies on them. Anyway, I know the Saito is pretty much apples to apples as far as power when compared to the OS .91, so the size isn't much different. And they recommend the OS .91 (their own brand, of course), so I should be in the right ballpark. Of course, I could always do what I did on my 1/4-scale Sig Spacewalker II and install a nice new Brison 2.4 to "improve" my vertical..... Think that would be enough power? And I thought I had problems getting it to settle in and land BEFORE! For two weeks before I fly it I let the grass grow to help slow it down.... nah, just kidding. I'm just saying that I cannot see putting something like a 1.20 in one of these Skybolts.
Let me compare to what I already know works awesome. The Bolt is 57", just 2 1/2 inches span MORE than my HogBipe, and They are both estimated to weigh in at roughly 8 pounds (I NEVER use the lower weight estimate!) and My HogBipe is just 8 pounds dry, within an ounce or so. My HogBipe uses a Saito .91 and simply tears up the sky and pulls straight through most maneuvers without dragging. Now, the Bolt has the same type of wing as my HogBipe but they say it has 40 fewer square inches, maybe a little thinner chord, but it should have nearly as much lift. It's a lot more aerodynamic than my HogBipe, so drag isn't added, if anything it's reduced. If there are some items here that I'm failing to factor in, please chime in, because on paper, at least to me, they don't seem to be very different at all. With the VERY obvious exception of my Spacewalker II, I've never subscribed to the overpowering of planes, but then I've never felt that a plane should be hovered, either. Oh, it can be done, but why not just go and buy a Heli if you want that? It's never appealed to me, but I'm saying that I can't see why planes should be as overpowered as we sometimes see them these days. It can really take the fun out of what would have been a sweet flyer otherwise.

What do you guys think the GP SkyBolt ARF Bipe should be powered with, according to what you see on its specs? Here, I'll place the link for you:

I'll be watching!

P.S. I was kidding about letting the grass grow, but I really DO have a 2.4 Brison in my Sig Spacewalker II !!
