Default .25-.36 3D anyone?

I have an old OS .48 Surpass 4-stroke and a new OS .40, one of which I would like to use on a smaller plane. I was considering the Global Tequila Sunrise with one of the two, however I have been informed that the TS flies like a lead covered brick and would not take well to the increased weight. I guess what I'm asking is whether there is a good plane to "slap" a larger than recommended motor on and have a blast!! I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!!

I'm building a taco with an evolution nt.36. I also added 2" to the wing span to help with the weight. To do so I added 1/4" to each wing bay and then lenghtened the CF strips to the next bay on the top and the bottom. I love planes with really light wing loading. I hope it flies well.

Here are some pics of my Taco from Swanyhouse.
I modified a little by lenghtening the fuse and adding wing strakes to the fuse. Also the fuse outline is tweaked.
Flies great with an OS Max 25 and 10x3 apc.
Saludos.
