Default Re: Advice on an airframe

Sequence work can require a higher power to weight ratio than 3D- especially in upline manuevers- snaps more than anything. If my math is correct that is about a 93cc engine. I don't know much about how this engine runs and compares to a 100cc twin- but make sure that this isn't on the low end power wise for a 35% plane- maybe you can fill me on how it compares.

I would feel comfortable saying that if you could get a plane at 24-25lbs or less you would be in good shape. If you are getting in the upper 20's then performance wouldl likely suffer.

You might consider something in the 33pct range to be safe.
