Hello,

I am preparing to start building a CG Freedom 20 kit and I had a question on engine size. I purchased this kit here on RCU and it included an OS LA .40. I am concerned that this may be too much engine for this plane. It has a 55 1/2 inch span and a wing area of 440 sq in., and a weight of 3.75 lbs.

Is the 40 to much, should I be looking for a 25 or 30 size motor? Is there enough ground clearance to handle a 10x6 prop?

I would like to use the 40 to help counter the wind and elevation we have here. But I wanted to hear from people who may have experience with this plane.

Thank you,
