It World Model Sky Raider Mach 2 fairly well. It is fairly aerobatic and light. The best part is that the street price is about $70. It has good covering and is built well. Not the prettiest, but it flies much better than it looks.

A four * 40 would be a great plane for that motor.. It wouldn't be a powerhouse, but it will fly nice, do some nice easy touch and goes.. I have flown fp 40's in them for years, no rocket.. but nice fun plane...

GP Dazzler or Tower uproar 40? These engines are really low on power, so not any larger plane.

I put this motor on a Thunder Tiger Lazy Tiger P-51. The plane calls for a .25 but the lite .40LA works great with it. It's a fun flier and can really turn quickly. Two-wheel touch-n-goes are a blast with this fun little plane.

There are some old threads in here somewhere about it. Just a search away.

The picture of it looks pretty decent. I've never seen one of the planes though. Tower tech notes say it should weigh 5.25 pounds. I think you should try the Dolphin (it sure is easy to spend someone else's money) and let everyone know if it's a good match.

If you don't want to chance the fairly unknown Dolphin, the World Models Mach II mentioned earlier would be good. I have seen a few of these and they seem to be very good. And they only cost 70 bucks.
