U-can-do 40 with .46 FX doing the job?
Hey U-can-do expert guys,
Question: Is the U-can-do 40 with .46 FX doing the job? I changed the exhaust to a bigger one and I am getting 12500 rpm with an APC 12/3.75
Is this enough for 3d and hovering with climbing with "some authority"???

Hi, it depends on what Prop you use,I got the U~CAN~Do with a SAITO 82 with 14x4w and it Hovers like a baby Steady in Half Trotle and got vertical to[&:] 
With the O.S 46-FX i wold try using a 12x4w if u have a tuned pipe in it

I am sure you could pull out of a hover (Albeit slowly) with an OS-50SX and Tower muffler ($15-) or better--- Just keep it light... I had a heavy profile (Topcap) that was a rocket with the 50SX ...
You are not going to get crazy 3D performance like with a Saito-82 or91 but that UCD is pretty light- I have seen one hover with an OS-46AX but it was wide open barely hovering---
If you run a Zinger wood the 50SX is happy swinging a 13x4, which would help your cause-

I have a U-Can-Do .46, that at first I flew with a Magnum .46 two-stroke. It would haul the plane around the sky well, but when it came to tricks it wouldn't do anything real fancy, but would allow it to hang it. I currently have a .91 four-stroke on mine, which powers it nicely!
