I am looking for a good sport plane with good aerobatic potential. With a TT Pro 46 do you belive this would be a good choice?

I got this airplane from my wife for an anniversary present. Let me tell you, I LOVE it! It flies nicer than my trainer, although is not near as forgiving.

I have an OS .70 Surpass II 4-Stroke in it, and it's amazing. It's my 1st 4-Stroke, so I spent the money and got one.

If I were you, rather than .46 TT, I'd spend the money and get yourself an OS 55 AX for this thing and watch is hit light speed!

Hitecman,

I have had this plane for about six months and I really think it is destined to become a respected and sought after plane. I have a number of planes and fly all of them but, this one is always fun to fly. Mine is equipped with an OS 46 AX and it is a perfect match - it has exceptional power. It is a quality kit that goes together very quickly and without any hastle. I epoxied the tail but I have left the wings halves unglued and held together with just the aluminum tube, dowels and wing hold down bolts.

It has good ground handling characteristics, excellent fast or slow in the air and lands like a kitty cat. The only parts that I would change are the main mount axles which are soft threaded metric bolts - eventually they elongate the inside of the wheel hub and also tend to bend. The wheel pants add a nice touch just be sure to use thread lock.

I am flying mine with a JR 9303 using an XtremeLink 2.4 ghz spread spectrum TX RF module and receiver and all Hitec servos. Excellent choice for a fun plane that is solid quality and reasonable in price. One of the nice things about this hobby is that you do not get socks or ties for Xmas or your anniversary.

Thank you both for your help. Sadly I cannot afford the 55AX but what about the TT Pro 46, I have one and Love it, but this will be NIB. But they will be HS 425 BB.

I have one and LOVE IT! Its powered by an OS 46AX. Let me tell you that the 46AX is PLENTY of power for this plane using an 11x5 prop. I get great verticle, knife edge and am able to hover. I only hover it at higher altitude as I dont think this plane is able to recover as quickly as a 3D plane and as we all know...it isnt meant to be a 3d plane. I highly recommend it. Make sure you reinforce the landing gear area inside the fuselage with epoxy just to be safe. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT>

UPGRADES: The only things I changed right out of the box was installed real axles on the landing gear instead of the cheapo bolts it comes with. Also installed a sullivan tail gear assembly instead of using the OEM tail gear which is glued into the rudder(im not crazy about the idea of gluing tail wheel into the rudder because of the stress it causes. Just my opinion.)

absolutely a wonderful airplane
mine has an evolution 46 w/11x6 master airscrew scimitar - and it'll do everything l want it to - and stuff that other pilots have asked it to as well
lots of power, quiet, etc, etc, etc

an electric flyer pal loved it - but couldnt afford the $ to equip one - so went and got a mini-pulse - everyone loves it as well
so all in all a winning design and plane - a step up from a basic trainer but it'll do well for that purpose and beyond

everything standard - i.e servos - hs425bb's, control horns, spinner, hinges, etc
only real mod's were the tail wheel mount, and the axles -- as noted by RO347 - l think he and l chatted about that a long while ago on a similar thread - so am glad to see he is enjoying his
AND l missed re-enforcing the landing gear mount area inside the fuse - and of course should have known better after having the same issue on a funtana and a showtime -- and of course finally that caught up with me on a tough landing - no real damage but a pain to repair
the funtana and showtime each have their own qualities - both for and against -- but the pulse offers me the most overall fun and enjoyment CONSISTENTLY

Sounds very very promising. I belive I will be going with the TT pro 46, and the tail wheel sounds like a must. But what prop should i be looking at? And any certain set up tips?

I fly my pulse with a supertiger 40 11-5 apc prop I changed the axles and also used a Sullivan tail wheel no wheelpants though it flys great with plenty of power

I use an 11x5 Master Airscrew. Flies it VERY well and keeps it slow when you bring the throttle back. the 11x6 is definitely a bit faster. I would say get used to the plane using the 11x5 then eventually step up to the 11x6 when you feel ready. Go with the TT46 if you feel its right for you. Should provide comparable power as mine, so it will FLY GREAT> Def do the Sullivan tail wheel and dont forget to reinforce the landing gear area with epoxy. Ive had some very hard landings and totally bent the gear, The fuse area never failed. its worth the little effort it takes. For knife edge you will need to place the clevice on the inner most hole on the rudder's control horn. if you have any other direct questions, feel free to PM me.

agree with ro347 - 11x5 or 11x6
l forgot to order a prop with my engine so went to LHS - and they were out of "regular" props - the gent recommended the Master Airscrew Scimitar - definitely looks like it has and does have a SHARPER bite - but also is a very quiet prop - no real noise from it - the gent it'd make the engine sound like a 4 stroke and it pretty much does
l started with and have stayed with 11x6 quite happily
with the evo 46 and 11x6 - l fly 12 minutes and still have 1/3 to 1/2 tank fuel left!!!!!

side note 1 - take it gentle and slow carving out the cowl to fit - little bits at a time - even if it takes 3 times longer than you want it to - the end product will look like a factory installation cowl and everyone will love you for it!!!

side note2 - l put mine together, set up surfaces and servos, checked c of g - bang on, started the engine and away l went and a year later still going strong - no set up, no trim adjustments - just fuel it and go!!!!

The TT46 is just right for this plane. My friend and I have fooled around with various props, and we have found the master airscrew nylon prop, 10-7, to be the ideal prop, although other props are fine too.

Looks like the 11X5 with the TT pro 46. I have a limited supply of money seeing as that i am sixteen and paying for my truck but when i get the money up it looks like i found my plane.

Try A super tiger.51 with a 11x5 or 6 .Mine flew great lots of power and would slow down very slow.Super tiger engs are inexpensive and have lots of power.

Yeah I have had just a couple ST's great engines but I have found a new love with the TT.
