AMA only insures models with a weight not to exceed 55 pounds. With a payload of 40 pounds that only leaves 15 pounds for the engine and airframe. Not a practical combination.

However I have seen photos of models as large as a 75% scale Extra or some other aerobatic scale plane. That would be a wing span of around 20 feet. Of course he was self insured.
