Default TWIST 40 and .61 engine?

Hi.
Anyone has tried the Hangar 9 Twist 40 with a .60 or .61 engine? Or it is way too big for it?
Thanks for your comments!

I have Twist with a OS .61FX on it and it is the perfect motor. I only use full throttle while accelerating vertically, otherwise she will hover just above half throttle. You don't have to add any wieght to the tail as long as you place the battery in the right spot. Good luck.

Thanks, Adam. Is your Twist the 40 size?
What propeller size do you recommend for the Twist with .61 engine?
Thanks!

I flew a Pizazz, very similar in size/weight with an OS61. I used a 13-5 with good results. It would hover around 2/3rd throttle. I am curious if a 61 2 stroke would turn a 14-4. I Didn't discover the APC 14-4W until I got a Saito .82
