Default 3dfoamy Advantage and 4d prop?

Just curious if the 3dFoamy Advantage bipe is too heavy for a VPP system?

Finished weight will be about 16oz...

I was going to use my Hacker A20, but I wrecked it trying to get the shaft out... darn thing just wouldn't come out[:@]

May switch to the Axi 2212 with the hollow shaft already installed........

Think it will work, or should the VPP/4D world stay for ultra-light shock flyers??

Thanks
Exeter

Well...I have the airframe finished, but I haven't installed the motor..
I bent the case of my HAcker A20[:@] trying to get the shaft out to install a hollow shaft, so I need a new motor....
Hopefully I can find a Hacker with the hollow shaft installed, or I may get one of the Axi's from Hobby Lobby that already have the shaft...

I tried everything to get the shaft out of my A20 and in turn squished it a bit[]
