Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

OK ... I will be outfitting my 46 UCD as follows...

OS 50SX
MAC Mini Tune Pipe
Tru-Turn Alimnium Spinner
APC 12.25x3.75 prop
PowerfLite 7.2 Volt 2400mAh Lithium Ion Battery
4.8 Volt Regulator
(1) Hitec Supreme 7 Channel PPM RX
(2) Hitec 425BB Servos on Alerions (44 oz torque @ 4.8V)
(2) Hitec 425BB Pro Sevos on the Elevators (45 oz torque @4.8V)
(1) Hitec 645MG Metal Gear on Rudder (107 oz torque @ 4.8V)
(1) Futaba S3003 Standard on Throttle
Du-Bro Heavy Duty Arms & Horns

I will be beefing up the landing gear block along with the firewall. I plan to CG it at 5" back from leading edge and adjusting to 6" for maximum "peppy" performance.

I know a lot of you will be posting replies saying the 50SX will not be enough power. The way I see it, Great Planes made the plane to meet certain specs and I plan to follow them. If it will not do what the manufacturer claims it will with the maximum "suggested" engine size then they will all hear about it.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
