RE: MDS .48
You mentioned this was for a SPAD. They don't build light weight SPADS so good choice picking the .46LA that is good for learning. You wil find when you want to move to a sport flyer that .46 will work but be a little less than what you want... I would have recomended the OS .46 FX or AX for future use. Good luck, have fun, DON"T GIVE UP!
