Hello,
I am just preparing my self to enter the world of 3D. I am looking at the great planes 27% Cap 232 12.5-14lb plane. I have read and heard that you need a 2:1 power to weight ratio for you engine. This means that I would need an engine that produces 28 lbs of thrust. that size of engine would not fit on to this size of plane. is it true that you need a 2:1 power to weight ratio for true 3D manuvers?

Please help me resolve my quandry.

thanks
