Default ARF for O.S. 46FX?

I am ripping an O.S. 46FX out of a GP Dazzler that my brother horribly misbuilt (horizontal stab is NOWHERE near close to parallel with the wing), and it therefore needs a new home? Any suggestions? I've been a little disappointed as a lot of the newer ARFs are 50-size, meaning the the 46FX might not be an optimum choice. I am looking for an aerobatic plane that has 3D capabilities (I am new to 3D and would like a plane that will grow with my aerobatic abilities). I also HATE profile planes so they are not an option. I really like the U-Can-Do 3D 40 ARF but am afraid that the 46FX might not be enough engine as it is rated for up to a .52 2-stroke. Thanks a lot guys.

Phoenix Future or Funstar
Hanger 9 Twist
World models Ultimate 40 (will 3d with maximum throws on the controls).
ModelTech Magic

all go well with that motor.

I used to absolutely hate profiles too until I flew one - now I enjoy them A LOT for 3d'ing and have a lot of fun throwing them around the air (but I still think they are ugly).

The UCD 40 will fly OK with that motor but it won't have "unlimited vertical".

aussiesteve's suggestions are all good, consider also the Seagull Harrier .46 ARF. I've watched guys at the field hover these with the .46 AX at 1/2 to 2/3rds throttle and plenty of reserve to pull up out of trouble.

You could also consider the CMPro 3D Giles 202 .40 ARF, the Model Tech 3Demon .40 ARF, or even the VMar Easy 3D .40 ARF. All of these airframes are light enough that a .46 AX would pull them straight up with authority.
