Default OVER POWERED SUPER SPORTER 60



Recently finished my SUPER SPORTER 60 with the idea that more is better so installed a SUPER TIGRE 75 and used a APC 11X9. Had a rough time taming the SUPER TIGRE engine but after several tanks it runs OK. My kit finished in a weight of 7 pounds, heavy compared with lager rc planes now days.

The problem right now is excesive vibration specially at full throtle. The engines runs ok and the prob is balanced but I`m thinking is to much power for the airframe to handle. Already ruined two servos futaba S3151, glitches start to happen from nowhere and when you open the case one of the cables is barely conencted where they solder.

So after the second servo failled decided to change the engine before flying the model with the same setup.

¿which engine will you recomend, the engines today are more powerfull than 15 years ago?

Already bought another SUPER TIGRE RINGED 61 since it had the same dimensions as the 75.

¿will this engine over power the model?

thanks,
