Default RE: Spacewalker or J3 Cub

The 46AX should power it just fine - use an 11x5 prop and it will work quite well.

My Saito 82 rarely gets above 1/2 throttle when I fly mine - it's airborne in less time than it takes me to push the throttle to full - I only use that size motor because I had it spare and wanted to annoy the teenagers by outflying their "sports models" with an "Old peoples" plane. Whilst it's nowhere near to being either a pylon racer or combat plane, Its excellent to outmanuever them when we are "playing". Because it's so stable, I can pull all sorts of crazy stuff on high rates (where I have as much throw as I can possibly get) and when I take my thumbs off it sorts itself out.
