Default Uproar V2 Question

Hello all...has anyone used a Eflight Power 46 on the Tower Hobbies Uproar V2? How about the Rimfire 46?
I have those two motors and the Spektrum Avian 80 AMP Brushless ESC, I was wondering if it would work well in this plane or should I get a Rimfire 32 like the instructions recommend.

I had a friend who had a fuel 46 on a first edition Uproar and had flutter problems with it. I ran a Tower 40 on mine and think a performance 40 was about max for it. Since the electrics you mention are more like the performance fuel equivalents I would think the 46 is way overpowering it. That plane was designed for a 30 size engine for fun fly's. I think you will find the Rimfire 32 will give you the thrill you are looking for. I saw a guy with the predecessor original design from Huntsville do 8 foot loops and 3 rolls per second with a 32.

Thanks...I was kind of thinking the .46 would probably be a little to much for it. I'll save those 46's for something else and get a rimfire .32.

So I put the Rimfire .32 on it and I have the 80 amp ESC and it's huge...barely fits in the area it's designed for and in order to plug it into the battery there is very little room(6" extensions won't be available until mid-March). Has anyone used a 60 amp ESC with the Uproar? or while using the Rimfire .32? This is my first time putting an electric motor on an airplane as I have always used nitro engines in the past. Thanks for any advice.
