RE: What Engine to Convert?
There's no such thing as "too much power". That's an oxymoron like "military intelligence".
I tell my students, that left side lever on the radio moves up AND down, and is a control; not an on/off switch. You can always pull that throttle back, but when you want more power and the throttle is at max, you are stuck with what you've got!
Happy New Years,
