Why is that Ed? Would that be because with the larger engine and prop, even at idle, the thrust is still too much to let the plane sink in for landing?
I think I have decided on a G-20 for the model. Seems like a good match because of size, weight, and power. Plus the dependability and parts availability of the Zenoah line up. I will power the EI with my 3250mah Lipo batteries and not worry about the power hungry EI problems that some are complaining about.
I appreciate everyones input on this, you guys have definetly educated me on some of the aspects of choosing a gasoline engine for a model.

Yes. The model can be hard to land with a .60 if too much prop pitch and a high idle are present. Don't ask...<G>
A Zenoah G20 would be fine, as would an SPE 26cc engine, or the converted/improved versions by BCMAE or Brillelli.
