I had the Tribute 3D and did the review on it for RCU. You can see how it performed in the video clips.. The thing is very durable and mine withstood several little disagreements with mother earth.. I finally destroyed the wing when I flew it into a flight station at the field while playing chicken with a PVC pipe . It was a good way for the plane to die. [8D]

It flies very well at 4.5 pounds with the Evolution 36. It does all 3D manuevers really well, rolls nice, flies nice and straight for a plane of its design. Its not foamy power with th .36 but it is just enough power to pull it out of a hover with good authority. With that being said, this airframe is built really light so I would recommend nothing larger than a .46 if you want the airframe to stay in one piece. If you put a larger engine on it chances are the mass of the egine is going to cause the wing securing structure to pull apart or the fuse may break in a blender.. But, putting a larger engine on the tribute would be like putting a 350 chevy in your jet ski,, its just not made for it.
