Default RE: How much thrust can a Kingcat take?

The resudual thrust on the Oly or P-200 will be greater, no doubt. However, in the case of the Oly, its offset somewhat by the added weight of the engine itself. In fact, Kingcats land *much* better when they have an additional 10 lbs on board - especially in the wind. You can also increase the aileron crow a bit to help counteract the residual thrust.
