I hope this sport doesnt turn into something like Formula One. Although... a lot of people all ready feel that way about it.

For the most part these current engines have plenty of power for the schedules up through masters. You just gotta be easy on over building and not creating too much weight. A 9.5 to 10lb airplane will fly well even with a 1.20 size engine for most of the schedules.
