Default RE: Composite ARF Lightning with AMT Olympus HP?

I was told by composite ARF rep and by someone else that the Oly is too much for the Lightning due to extra fuel weight that you have to carry and the plane does not really need it. It was designed for constant speed aerobatics not for top speed. I almost installed an Oly in mine, but changed my mind for a Titan class engine. Mine is 80% finished and I'll be happy to share my findings when done..
