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.

We have Bats in Aus with 40 engines and they are quick, just be aware the CG will be off if they have been set up with 25's
