I have two. One was in a 80% Astro Hog and flew it really well (it is currently on loan to a friend for his small SE5a) and the other is in a Phoenix Tiger Moth which it flies perfectly. I originally had a Saito 30 in the Tiger but it was a bit too ''scale'' and the 40 is far better.

Yeah, night & day difference. With only 'bout an ounce & a quarter weight penalty; On a 4 pound plane, you're only adding 2% to the weight while gaining near 30% in power. Unfortunately, not an easy swap, once the 30 is installed. Different mounting bolt pattern, & throttle on the other side. .......... George K
