Hi,
Currently i have been running a os 70 fl 4 stroke in this plane, which i switched for an os 46 ax i had sitting on another plane, now what my question is neither of these motors seem good enough for this plane, i mean basic aerobatics it can do, but some other manuevers i'd say it struggles, expecially vertical performance, so what i was asking is if a os 61 fx which i could buy, is too much for this plane, i have put my 46 ax on my pheonix classic trainer which has excellent performance and only go over half throttle for vertical, it climbs really well even just on 3/4 throttle, but i would like close to the same on my cap, without ripping the wings off it with a more powerful motor, would this motor be able to be put in the plane , the os 61 fx without too much hassles?
What prop are you using? I fly a OS 70 surpass in mine and it's great I run a 14x4 most times..or a 12x6 depends how I wanna fly that day. Whatever you do don't toss a .91 on this thing...it'll tear apart easily, it's not designed to be overpowered that much. Your 70fl should toss it around pretty good.
