Yes the OS 46 AX is a great choice! They have become my favorite motor for a plane that size! And do get someone in the local club take you up on the buddy box till you can solo! I know you say you like to build but don't if you don't have too every day! You will meet great folks at your local club because you will meet folks like you that love the sport and save money by not crashing the plane! Help is needed so that you do not give up! If you fly alone to start you have not got a good chance of geting it back in one piece! Good luck! Bob

Have a great day! I know i'm going too!
