Default TOwer Kaos .40

I am thinking of putting my OS 52 surpass on this ARF. Does anyone know if there is room for a small 4 stroke on this plane.?? I hate to have to buy an engine just for this plane when the little OS runs so well. Your suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Everyone has a different idea of what is suitable power and performance. I have a modified kit version and found the OS 46 2S was not enough power and ended up with an un-piped Irvine 53 2S. The 53 is just about right for my flying style so maybe you can relate that to your 52. Some of the ARFs I’ve seen need tail weight with a 46 2S so that’s another consideration. There is a video of it in the “Classic Pattern Kaos thread sticky”.
