Since my electric conversion of the Tower Kaos is done with customizing, I decided to take a plunge into the power and wing loading numbers. Does this sound too good to be true? Maybe someone can tell me if I am missing something.
Thanks.

I don't think you will be happy with the power. Especially when the battery is nearly discharged. You probably want about 300 watts per pound of airplane.
