Well, I am going to attempt to train with a .40 size engine and plane to accomodate.

Thats what I learned on a lazy bee. If I had to do it over again, I would do a Sig Kadet senior or some other gigantic plane with a 40sized engine. I had to "unlearn" a lot of things with the lazy bee. Like flying a 3 channel, take-off and landings etc. I put a gigantic tank on mine though and could fly for like 30 minutes.
