RE: Avistar questions
The LA .40 is enough engine for the plane. The .52 4S won't necessarily give you more power. Be careful though. I have a .46 2S on mine spinning an 11x5 and I am at a minimum of prop clearance. If the .52 wants a 12" prop or larger, I would not use it.
Edit: That .46 will almost hover the plane... almost..
