The Thunder Tiger Pro 40 is an excellent engine. Many people race a Q-500 class airplane with 9x6 APC propeller.
The engine is available through Tower Hobbies for about $85.
A tip when building the Scat Cat - Most end up nose heavy.
You can either shorten the nose or mount some of the radio behind the wing. I installed the receiver battery back behind the wing.

the O.S. 46 AX is just as good or even better than the T.T. 46 as far as i am concerned. start with an apc 10 x 6 prop and if you want the o.s. to really scream try a 9 x 7.

Which is the best mount to use for the OS AX 55? I would like to use one that uses the back plate design.. Any links on where to get one? thanks.

if you can get onto Great planes, the Viper has a very nice alloy engine back plate mount that should be quite cheap . the 46 and 55 have the same crankcase so the normal 46 mount will fit .
