As long as the higher wattage resistor fits physically and is the
appropriate resistance (82 ohms in this case), it will work just fine... It will be just loafing at a small fraction of a watt and so should never 'burn out from thermal stress.... Physically larger is usually more mechanically robust, as Dave surmises... Resistors start at 1/8 watt at most electronic suppliers and go up into the hundreds of watts... The larger units will not be available in all resistances, especially in the megohm range... For what you need it in the airplane, a wirewound "flameproof" of 2 watts is fine... denny
