Thank you for your input.

Room for batteries aside, wont I be weighing down a .32 size plane with my batteries/motor? I imagine the plane will need to be cruisin pretty quickly to avoid stalling. For that matter, is there any way to tell optimum wing loading? I have seen planes advertising everywhere from 10-33 oz/sqft. Is there a maximum oz/sqft I should stay away from?

im remembering a quote i heard, "with enough power, you can make a brick fly..."
