My father has one of these engines brand new on a shelf and said I could throw it in a plane if I bought the airframe.

I’m looking for something specifically for Hovering and Torque rolling; I am getting decent on the sim and need a plane to start practicing on in real life. But since my experience is limited I’d like a model that is known for nice hovering characteristics.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

So far I have been looking at relatively cheap models since im just starting I don’t want to cry if I crash it.

I have been looking at Nitro models Giles 202 – 140.

Has anyone heard of this plane?

I have also heard good things about the Hangar 9 Easy stick.

The thing is at 1.80 cubic inches this motor is a little big for most of the stuff im finding.
