Default RE: What do ya think?

Hi!
My 35 years of advise...
Good engine But I would choose a an OS LA .46 (Plain bearinged) for a newbie! A ball bearinged .46 is overkill and will just get you into trouble more easily because it's too powerful.

Use a 11x6 or 12x4 prop. RAM, Graupner "Cam-prop" and APC are the best performance vise.

Medium Ca glue and thin ...and of course accelerator is must! Thick Ca glue is not something I use.

Get a 4,8V or 6V pack Do not! I repeat! Do not use alkaline batteries! NiMH cells is a must, and use a welded 4 or 5 cell pack!
