Most .46 engines will provide a .40 ARF to hover, OS naturally is the all time favorite these days for the ease of tuning and rarely a deadstick. 12.25X3.75 is a good hovering prop for any .46 2 stroke, that's the key I think. I can't hover with a 10 or 11 inch prop as well.
You might consider the Funstar ARF, low price, stick looks, but far greater control surfaces to work with. These Phoenix models are Towers biggest and best kept secret. I own many Phoenix models and have enjoyed flying most of their whole product line that usually sits in the .40 size. The hinges are already installed and pinned, the engine mount is mounted on arrival, these throw together in 3 hours and I've never had a covering issue with any of them. I fly my Funstar regularly for a year now.
