RE: HELP ENGINE DECISSION!!!!
Mike,
Newbies have a tendancy to get dazzled by the more experienced pilots and their over-engined planes jumping off of the runway.
Head out to the airport someday and watch the full scale pilots take off. They use a lot of the runway.
Your takeoffs are very scale like. Accept the realities of the laws of physics and enjoy your flight.
Good Luck,
