Frankly I doubt it.

I put the LA .46 into a .30 plane and it does very well on that plane, including good verticals.

I've tach'd it to about 10.5K with an 10x5 prop sitting on the ground.

Not too sure about your tach readings, i'm getting 12000rpm with a 10x5 on a .40LA with 10% omega, i'm sure the .46 must have more power than the .40. My motor is stock with no carb alterations and the baffle is still in the muffler, motor has about 2 gallons thru it.

I can push it to 12000 with the 10x5 or 10x6, but it will not go too far beyond that.

I'm not going to run it this way in the air.

On my .30 plane I have plenty of power for it... just not enough for my .46 planes.
