Default Just got H9 sport Cap 232 need engine

My new one has a Saito .72 sitting up front but I have not flown it yet. I can't wait to see how it compares to the .46FX in my first one. After about 60 flights and several dead sticks that didn't make it back the plane still keeps flying. I even broke the wing in two on a tip stall trying to make the runway. The plane is really tough but the .46 doesn't have enough juice to do the IMAC basic sequence with any grace.

One of the guys at my club said to me while we were watching some giant scale aerobats perform was that they don't crash much with those planes because they have enough power to get out of trouble. The .46FX in my CAP has made that very clear.

With or without lots of juice the plane is still fun but keep the speed up on landing.
