Default How small a plane for a .40 engine? (reasonably)
Instead of putting a bigger engine on a .40 plane I want to go the other way.

Right now I run a diesel .40 on my Big Stik and it is fun but will not quite hover. It slowly begins to slide backwards...

So instead of put a .60 on it I want a smaller plane because I really like this OS LA .40 diesel conversion.

So what sporty plane can I put my engine on and have enough power for unlimited vertical climbing?

I'll weight my current Big stick and post it here latter. That will help... I'm guessing I need a plane under 5 lbs for sure though.
