Engine choice depends on what the owner wants to do. Fly on the prop like a Venus II, or fly on the wing like a Piper Cub. Although I would prefer the Cub, others would rather have bigger control surfaces and increased throws so they can 3D hover. And then there are some who like the challenge of a war bird's added weight and speed. It's all good. Mind you, the .61 K&B engine is going to make it a little heavier, and that will also increase the stall speed. You will want to adjust your flying technique accordingly.

Absolutely right. This is making me think back to the full scale I flew a couple of weeks ago; that Cessna sure as heck didn't have unlimited vertical performance! When I got the Decathlon all I heard was 'aerobatic trainer', but I had no idea what a scale plane flew like and was expecting something quite different. A .46 will fly this plane, and probably fly it very scale. If that's what you're looking for, this plane is a BEAUTIFUL scale flier. I'd probably still go with the .61 though
