Default RE: FuntanaS 3D - What Engine?

I just wanted to add a post here as the trend to over power planes is so strong. The Funtana and I went to the field last night for the maiden flight as in Minnesota we are finally getting some nice weather. It is powered by an OS MAX .46FX. It weighed in at 5 lbs 11 oz and was pulled by a zinger 12x4 prop. It flew so nice! Although I'm really not into hovering the plane it performed most every thing I was comfortable to throw at it on it's first two flights. I found myself running at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle most of the time. It is a nice flying plane. So if your out there wondering if you can get away with the smaller engine I would say give it a try, you might be surprised!
