I am thinking of building a K-F III this winter and am wondering if there is any reason not to use a Super Tigre 90 for power? It has 60 sized cases and weighs the same as a typical 60, so fitment, weight and balance will all be preserved. I have one 90 NIB and one used which is why I would like to use one.
BTW, I do know what the throttle is and that it works both ways, so I don't think over powering will be an issue. I want a nice, honest flying, simple grass field plane and the K-F should fill that bill very well.
Thanks,
Mark

I once arrived at the flying field and was handed a transmitter controlling a flying Bridi patternship and was told to "fly". So I flew out the flight and enjoyed myself thoroughly. After I landed the model and had it back safely in the pits, I was then told that instead of a Super Tigre G61 as it had the last time that I flew the same model, the model was now equipped with a Super Tigre G90. I would never have suspected that it was being powered by a G90.
Of course, I use mucho throttle management. Had I been the old fashioned type of flyer that used the throttle control like a toggle switch for either high or low power, I might have noticed the difference in power. As it was, I did not.
IIRC, the owner of the model used an APC 11x9 propeller. I wondered why the model was reluctant to land and that explained that.
