Would it be possible to fly this Widgeon with a couple of Norvel .049's?:

The acompanying article says a pair of .099's would be overpowered, and that the one in the article ran on 074's. 049's woould make it pretty close to underpowered. Maybe you could reduce the scale and make it work. Mark

Hello, Paul, Mark and All,

Here is the exact wording of the text:

"Moderate power would be .099. Maximum should be a pair of .15's. Our model flew very well on a pair of .74's"

What threw me off is that where the author, Paul Palanek, states "Moderate power would be .099", I wasn't sure whether he meant something like a pair of .049's, or something like a pair of .10's. Evidently, though, he must have meant something like a pair of .10's, so I guess I will just go ahead and scale it down a bit. Thanks.

Michael
