Power to weight Ratio??
Is there some sort of equation that lets you figure out how much power youll need (2 stroke) for a certain plane if you know the weight of it and the wing loading????

Power to weight Ratio??
For aerobatics (IMAC) it is recommended to have a 1.5 or more thrust to weight ratio. While the size of the engine does have an indirect correlation to the thrust. You need to understand what size propeller to provide the thrust you will need to do aerobatic and 3D maneuvers.
