First 3D Plane Question :)

Hi Guys,

Hope someone can give me some insight into my first 3D Plane ive been flying for over a year now, and into big warbirds / sports planes but i wanted to try my hand at 3D, im going to assemble my first which is the Wild Card as seen in the pic below, this is the details from a site about it

Ever wanted the kind of model that stretches your ability every time you fly it? Then the new Irvine Wild Card is exactly what you’ve been looking for. As a ready to fly model the Wild Card is as good as it gets. That thick section wing coupled to the long moment arm and potentially radical control movements allow you to explore the flight envelope to the full.
Select an engine in the 40-53 power range according to your needs, the Wild Card will use it to the full. Go for the Irvine 53 or O.S. 50SX if you want to perfect your hovering. It’s embarrassing just how easy it is with this model
Just a few hours of assembly and the Wild Card will be ready to go.
Wingspan: 1590mm (62.5”)
Engine Size: .40-.53 Two Stroke
Length: 1320mm (52”) Radio: 4 Channel

I have an OS46 FX i wanted to put in it, will this make a good combo ? also what size prop would you recommened me getting for this to get the best 3D performance out of it :)

Many Thx for any help...................

RE: First 3D Plane Question :)

i think that plane is about like the fun star . it should be good on the 46 . prop apc 12.25/3.75 or 11.5/4

RE: First 3D Plane Question :)

Ditto on the 12.25x3.75. It's an awesome little prop. That thing looks like my old Laser3D. Sorta. a 46FX should haul it around alright. Keep it light and have fun.

RE: First 3D Plane Question :)

The 12.25 x 3.75 is great for hovering, but the throttle response is better on an 11 or 11.5x4, I tried the 12x4 (all APC's) could not tell the difference from the 12.25---

I run the Tower muffler ($13 or $14) on my 46-FX's for about 600 RPM's extra and a better sound! ;)

Have fun and keep us posted-
