Default Re: What to choose for a noob?

Hmmmmm...

Thats going to be a heavy motor for that air frame.
You will not like it.

A 70" span is calling for a glow motor.

We have all been in your position, and have said "I can make a gasser work in this plane"

The truth is.. you will make it work... it will fly around and land fast... but when you see guys hovering, and doing nice parachutes and other 3D tricks... you will not be able to do them.

The plane will snap out of Hi G maneuvers.

Believe me.. I tried... I tried all the "gas motors" for the smaller planes... and I was always miserable.

But.. hey give it a go.. sometimes the best way to learn is to find out your self.

Good luck!
