right engine
I just bought a sonic 500 to play with i want to put a evolution 36 on it .I know that this plane is a sports/racer but i just want a low wing stick what i was wondering is this engine going to be to small for this plane the plane has 51 inch wings and 48 inchs long. let me know what you think.Oh I am a beginner .I fly a GP 40 stick with a 46ax on it and i thought it would be fun to fly a low wing.

Should I Quit
I'm 68 years old and I been trying to learn to fly RC air plane. I have crashed about 14 or 15 planes. I do fly without a buddy cord and do pretty good the biggest problem is landing.I seem to try to land to fast and i also have had other problems like putting my planes in tree and losing the wing in the air.I should say that i do fly glow and like it better then electric. what do you think give up the hobby or not?

RE: what engine
Well i decided to to go with the tower 61 and i think i made the right choice the power was there to do all i wanted and the plane flew great . One thing i will recommend is us the low rate for your first flight . the plane jumped off the runway so fast it surprised me and climbed up almost out of site.this might be my the plane i fly the most .great planes made a keeper here for me anyway.

RE: water proof
OK you have convince me were do you get this corrosion -X . also i know this is not a water question but were do to put the weight when you balancing . on the plane or on the floats this plane is real tail heavy I think most of the weight is in the floats also i'm going to fly this plane only off water.
