So with some sad news tonight, I managed to crash my Hangar 9 twist.. With over 800 flights on her, I hated to see it wrecked. But, that was do to a stupid move on my part.

Anyhow, was just wondering what kind of 3d airplane I could put an OS 46AX on and be happy with? I loved how the twist flew and landed. I've been pondering about possibly going to a profile, but I'm not sure.. So with this being said.. Any good recommendations for a .46 size 3d capable airplane in an ARF?

On a side note, I also have a Funtana S40 with a Saito .82 that I fly.

You might consider a Sig Mayhem 40. Great Plane and flys super. Will do any thing 3D. Mine weighed 5lbs 1oz with a Saito 82. It would fly great with the 46 on it. I liked mine better than my Twist.

Thanks
Barry

I would get an OMP Katana or Fusion. Either one would work good with the AX 46 and are very capable 3D ers'
I like the looks of that Frenzy but it's too much plane for your 46 AX

The Frenzy looks like a fun airplane.. However, I really don't want to get a new engine at this point. However, I have been tinkering with the idea of getting an Ultimate Bipe of some sort when I do buy a bigger engine. I may have to check into the fusion or the katana..

The OMP Edge 540 Profile V3 is excellent. I fly mine with a .55-AX but I'm sure the .46 would do just fine. Hovers, flat spins, blenders, knife edge, you name it, it's a piece of cake with this plane. Then you can do a harrier landing right on a dime. Their Fusion looks good too, almost have mine covered. Everyone seems to love the Mojo too. It's a kit if you like to build but I also here there will be an ARF soon.

I actually bought the OMP Katana V2 tonight.. so we'll see in a week or so.. Can't wait!! Least I can fly the Funtana an Sobre in the mean time...

Sounds like a great choice. A lot of people complain that profiles are ugly but once you fly one you will be hooked.
