Default Engine Choice / Need Expert Advice!!

Decision Time,

From everyone I have talked with here and back channel, the decision is down to Norvel. Now I just have to decide between the .074 and the .15.

Weight is the key factor from two perspectives: first the weight of the engines...ie thrust to weight ratio, and second the weight of the model as I have built it (not too heavy I hope). All things considered, I think I would be fine with the .15's since the thrust they generate should adequately compensate for their weight and my ability (or lack of ) to build lite. HOWEVER, the .074's would fit much better and in all likelyhood be fine.

Thanks to everyone who has offered their advice and/or opinion in this thread and back channel. I really do appreciate it. I will let everyone know how it turns out.

John
