Default RE: ultra stick lite engine choice

Good luck, and may your flights with this duo be many. I use a Futba 8 channel with the flaps and all, and set the dual rates rather low. I am glad I did, because with the extra power and torque, I had my hands full for the first couple flights getting everything trimmed. One thing I learned early on, these engines produce a lot of torque, so only seems natural that the plane will want to make a quick left turn if you give it full throttle right away. It takes me about 20 minutes to put 10 ounces of gas through my RYOBI, so you might want to go with a low load of fuel. I don't know how much a 32 Mac on gas/glow burns, just a thought.
