My buddy has one with a os52 it is a delight to fly. He is running an apc 12.25x3.75. It has a ton of power. Hovering should be no problem. It flys at about 3 clicks of idle when you are trying to bring it in. He Had to put 1 oz of lead in the tail to get it to balance at the recommended CG. If you are going to want a 5 to 5.5 CG then you will most likely need 2 or 3 oz in the tail. His planes all up weight is 3lb 15oz. I went to the hobby shop with my scale yesterday and put the 46fx with macs pipe(15.4oz), OS52 4s (15.3oz), OS 32sx with macs pipe (11.6oz) and the Saito 40 (10.6oz) I am going to be trying the new Saito 40 4s (10.6oz). I am going for the lights plane I can get hence the Saito 40. Hope this helps.
