Fully agree. Yet I can relate to the other takes here because I recall the day I would sweat every mg of weight that shoulda/coulda been put into wood structure. My first PP (Bipe) was covered with PPP, and that's close to 300 sq", considering two wings, huge stab and rudder. That model did regular 15s and 16s in Cat I. My second PP bipe is covered with original Y2K and Y2K2, just because the colors are prettier. So that model's motorstick is 50 mg stronger, but so far about 45 seconds inferior to #1 (lost in KD roof.) Higher launch torque capability is not the whole story, esp in Cat I & II flying. JMO.
