Default Heckler ARF engine size?

I have a new Heckler and would like to know what size 2 stroke or 4 stroke works the best on this plane.

I love the Heckler. I have one and one more in the box just in case. I use a GMS .47 or an OS .46AX. An APC 11.5-4 prop seems best for me.

I found the engine leaned out so I side mounted. I also moved the battery back behind the wing and mover the rudder servo to the top of the fuselage in front of the fin with pull-pull. This saved me when I broke the fin off in a full power blender and the pull-pulls held it in place so I could land. Now I have wire tail braces.

Thanks for the Info. Did it weaken the rear of the plane by putting the servos in the rear. Also I heard that thay don't make the heckler any more so the supply is about gone. I just ordered the one I have now. Also what size of a 4 stroke would you suggest to use
