Do NOT put anything larger than a .46 on the Tribute. Its fuselage is not designed for a larger engine. I reviewed the PNP version and it had plenty of power to hover with a Evolution 36. A 46 2 stroke should be plenty. I would say step up to a 12x4 and you should be fine.


The problem with putting larger engines on this plane is that the fuselage construction cant stand up to the forces generated by the mass of a larger engine. When you do violent spins and tumbles you can break the frame under the wing saddle. Dont misunderstand, the fuselage is PLENTY strong, but the plane just is not made for an engine that big. A Tribute with a .46 should perform like a Mojo 60 with a Saito 100. Anything more is overkill.

Definitely try the MOJO 60. I absolutely love mine.
