i was thinking about using a 46FX i have (no 3D, loops rolls, inverted) how would it do?

Well it may be on the low side for power but it will fly it. I always end up with the higher end of the motor spectrum they recommend and find I could have went bigger.

The .46 will likely be just fine if you aren't planning on any hardcore 3D stuff. I ordered a YS-63 for mine.

Too much horse power just right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ordered mine going to put a os 91f should be perfect more power more fun

You got that right !!!!!!!!!!!!!

has any one tried a 70 four stroke on this plane or anything close?

josh you need to go to this thread...http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_84..._1/key_/tm.htm

I'll be running an OS 70 Surpass IIin mine. SHould be a perfect match. Jon

I got into that thread and it was the same one that you replied to.

I'm running a Saito 72 (11k, 13x6 MA S2, 15%) and it is plenty of power.

I don't have my plane together yet and I am curious as to what 3d maneuvers it is capable of? what cg position are you using?
