At this point, I am just barely at the solo stage. I am very keen to fly in the snow and on water which is why I would like to upgrade. The current TH .40 I have is a bit of a dog on land, so I don't know if it will be able to fly from the water effectively.

Being inexperienced, I also want a solid performance so I don't get many dead-sticks. I don't have a lot of money to put into this hobby though, so I'd like this engine to be upgradeable with me. Once I've outgrown the trainer, I'll buy another ARF and throw the engine into that.

Thanks for the help!
