My Feedback: (2)

I have a 180G coming to be used in an Epic Victory 1/4 scale and I now have read some threads with people concerned about its high residual thrust vs the 140g. The Epic Victory is a very clean airplane and I have read that it is tricky to get slowed down for landing. I originally thought of the 140 but decided to go with the 180 because it is the same size, only 2oz heavier, and could be used in the futur for airplanes requiring more power. I did not realize that the residual thrust was greater on the 180. The plane will fly great on the 140 and I am not a speed demon. Does anyone know the actual residual thrust of the 180 vs the 140 (Barry,Dirk)? Another thing that scares me is the fact that the idle rpm of the 180 is 35k versus 33k for ALL the other KT engines. I could lower the idle rpm but I read a post where someone had a rough idle and it was because he had the idle rpm set at 33k.
Thank you in advance for any info to give me a warm fuzzy fealing that I will be happy with the 180.
