Yes, I fly mine.  I think a .61 2-stroke would be better.

I have been flying my F-22 for about 3 years or so, it started with a 46ax and an 11x6 prop after about a dozen flights I switched to a 10x8 prop and man it made a huge difference in the flight characteristics. After a year or so I put the 55ax on it with a 10x8 prop and its a better flying plane. With the 46ax it always dropped the nose in the corners, once I put the 55 ax on it I never had that problem again..

Now I fly it with a Jett 50 which is a little overkill but I have always heard you can never have to much power...LOL

I agree that a .46 would be a little underpowered. I have an OS 55ax on mine and my brother has a GMS 61 on his. They are both several years old and have taken some hard knocks, but are still flyable and see the airfield a couple times a year. We try and do a little formation flying when we get together. It's much harder than it looks.

I have been planing on using the evo 52, now I am wondering if the 60 is a better choice.
