It would be tough because of the tank position on the opposite side of the fuse. Now, if you had a tank that would fit in the wing, it would be no problem.

I used Hitec 225MGs all around on mine with an 81 for the throttle. These work great, and have as much torque as the standard ones while weighing 1/2 oz less. It saves at least an ounce in the tail, which makes it easier to balance with a lighter engine.

The more I fly mine, the more I like it. Still can't hover worth a darn, but I'm getting better. This plane flat spins great. I can almost get it to climb, and I'm sure if I knew what I was doing, it probably would. I love bringing it in for a landing at a very slow walking pace and let it just settle in with no rollout.
