Default Engine Weight vs Performance

Thanks for the info..... I often will move anything dynamic, batteries, rcvr, etc, to achieve balance. I try hard not to add any static weight to my planes.......

Assuming the only difference is the weight, does the RPM gain really buy me much? I think it might. I have heard that 500rpm is like another 25% power, if this is true, then I should use the YS for sure.

Thanks again
