Well yes and no. In the best of all worlds your model should fly with
any amount of torque you can give it. But in the real world a model
that is set up for low ceilings may have a more finite upper limit for
the torque it will handle without doing something undesirable. If
you've launched with a torque that seems reasonable for the situation
and the model power stalls then you probably need to make an adjustment
to eliminate the stall. More side thrust is an option. Another is
twisting the motor stick for a few seconds before launch to help
counteract the opposite tail tilt problem. There's always the
possibility of winding up with a 2 piece model when you do this but
it's routine procedure for me for light models in high ceilings.
