Default RE: a 13 pound plane with an os 91fx engine ?

Its not the weight as much as overcoming the drag. I fly a 13lb plane with a 61 2s and it is not at all underpowered, it will take off in 150 ft. BUT this plane is slippery low drag and it will fly over 100mph. I wouldn't try a 13lb stick on a 91, because of the size and drag of the plane.
