72 is great. A 62 will do it on a light build and a 72 is plenty. An 82 is really more than you need but something you might want.
I have both and can't say I have a real preference. AX55 and a 13x4 is also good.

Ditto!

If you already have a Saito 72, you'll be very pleased with it on a Primo 40.

The 55AX works great in the Primo! That's whats in mine too.
I'd also suggest using an APC 13x4 prop, and an OS F glow plug in the 55AX.

It ain't so much the plane as it is the operator, I seen McDDD hover a high wing trainer just fine one day a coupla years back. When you guys get as good as him you won't hafta worry what ya take to the field.

I just picked up a Twist with a golden knight 72, servos, and RX from Craigslist for $200.00 [8D] After seeing that Primo video I think I'm going to take the 72 off and sell it and buy a Primo to build this winter. [:-]
I'd just fly the twist the rest of the season, like toolman said it's ther pilot, I hover my twist all the time with my os 61

I have a tango an love the heck out of it. I can do things with it that I didn't even know planes could do. A profile buddy of mine had it doing a flat spin going up. Anyhow, The Tango is a lot stronger built in the fuz section over the twist. The Twist is built weak where the wing hooks on it. But that doesn't make much diff, unless ya crash it....hehe

Hovering is not 3D though.

I going to quote Dave45 here because his statement stands on it's own.

It seems nothing 3D's as well as a modern profile.
