it should work fine. i had a norvel 049 on mine it hover at 1/3 throttle with my fire water mix. you should hang at around 1/2 throttle.. and think how much you will save on the wing loading[8D]
i have herd of a satio 100 on one but i think he was from mars very low air up ther.

I have found that if I reely manage my speed well, it will hang with just a good hard toss, so I took my satio 1000 off and reealy saved wate. Now it ways 1/3 of a gram and and is a reel floter.
Seriously, I have heard that the Saito 72 is a perfect combo for the UCD 46 or put on a quality 2 stroker such as the OS 50. Why buy a Porsche and put your old Geo motor in it?
I have a UCD 60 and power it with a Saito 100 using an APC 16-4W prop. Hovers are around 1/2 throttle and unlimited vertical is not a problem although accellerating through a series of snaps on a vertical upline out of a hover are beyond the engine's thrust capabilities. (I have seen this done with a 40% Edge powered by a 3W150 and it is very impressive!)

Personally,I dont think that the light motors will do it justice. For 3D you will need a gas motor. Maybe you should put a G-38 on there. I have one on mine and its just a site to see.
[:@] This is one of my biggest R/C pet peeves...Guys that put gas motors on 1.20 sized and smaller airplanes and wonder why it doesnt 3D all that well.
