I have an ARC version that I've been flying since the fall. Power is a Saito 56 swinging a MAS 12x6. I finally got around to weighing it today, and ALW is 82.5 ounces ... 5 lbs 2.5 ounces. Less then I thought.

This combination gives fairly good performance. Not unlimited verticle, but not too bad.

I've slowly been adding tail weight in order to get it to fly more to my liking. Right now, the CG is at the rearward most point suggested in the instructions, plus 1 ouce of lead in the tail. Seems to fly pretty good.

Knife edge is finally acheivable, however, I still can't get her to flat spin (upright or inverted).

For the cost, I think the TT is a pretty good investment. I'd stick whith the ARC version, and check all wood and glue joints. I'd also add some cap strips to the top and bottom of the 2 exposed ribs as they warped while shrinking the covering.

With the 46FX, a 12x4 or a 12.25x3.75 APC propeller would be the ideal combination.

You'll have great performance.
