Bushing .40's like the TT .42 and the OS 40 FP and LA have similar power to most hot (Bearing) .25's.

In the QHOR/SPA3D style planes, people were using .40's in the 25 size all the time, and .60/.75's in the .46 sizes with little trouble at all.

What type of SPAD were you thinking of overpowering?

Well, it's pretty indestructible, so I say go for it. Heheee, looking forward to hearing a flight report. You'll want to make the nose as short as possible and lengthen the tail a little to handle the extra weight without having to add too much ballast.
