Default RE: Second plane dilemma


ORIGINAL: timbosox88

I have decided to get the GP bigstick, now I need to know if I have enough motor for it. (can you ever have enough?) I have an OS .40la will that be enough to be an enjoyable flyer?
You'll be surprised what the .40-LA is capable of. True, it won't have the same power as a high performance .46 but it will fly your Stik fine. In fact, a guy at our field modified a .40-LA so he could bolt on a Tower Hobbies .46 muffler. Hearing it and watching the plane fly, I swore he had a bigger motor. It really ran great.
