Default Home for a OS .46FX

Just put the first few fights on my Ultra Stick 60 w/ Saito 100 this weekend. Great flying plane. Got me thinking about what to do with the OS .46 FX that's sitting in my NexStar. After flying the stick I just don't think I'm going to have much motivation to drag the NexStar out to the field. So I'm looking for recomendations on what to do with it. Due to time constraints (I'd rather be flying than building) I'm looking for an ARF. I was eyeballing the Something Extra and the U-Can-Do 46, but not sure if my OS is going to be enough engine to really do either of those justice...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave

Modeltech Magic with some coroplast Side Force Generators screwed to the wing tips. Fantastic 3D combination. No!! INSANE 3D combination!!!

Look at the Funtana x 50, It's a great plane and you can get crazy with it.

can't go wrong with a H9 Twist .40 3d and for $99.00 it's alot of bang for the buck!

I have an OS 46AX in a Something Extra (kit built). It flys it just like I like and will even hover it although that just about takes full power to pull out. I think you'd be happy with it unless you want to go 3D crazy, then you'll need something lighter. Probably a profile or maybe the Modeltech Magic. IMO you can't go wrong with a Sig plane.

The 46 FX in my H9 Tribute 36 weighs 4lb RTF. It hovers at under 1/2 throttle with a very hard pull out. Rocket effect is nice too. I get around 22 minute flights on it. Very strong design, as I have inverted flat spun it into the ground. Picked it up and flipped the prop and threw it back up. For only 85 bucks, one really cant care too much.
