Well the reason I want to use the 36 is is exactly that don't want an overpowered plane. The recommended engine is a 30 - 40 two stroke. And the plane is quite old so I am sure if a 30 from back in the day will fly it, a modern 36 should fly it quite nicely.
I have a GP Big Stick 60 with an OS91FX and that thing goes like the clappers. So I fly that when I want to point and shoot and hav unlimited vertical ...
Having an "underpowered" plane you learn how to realy "fly" I think, if you don't have the power to pull yourself out of a mistake you are in trouble. So that teaches good flying skills I think.
So if the 36 will pull it through a loop after gaining as much speed as possible flying level before entering the loop I will completely happy and my objective reached
