Default Saito .56 on SeaMaster 40?

Have any of you guys tried the Saito .56 on the Seamaster? I've got one laying around and I'd like to try it, but I'm wondering if it is enough power. I'm currently running an OS .46 FX, and it flies great, but I do like those 4-strokes.

Yes that's plenty of power. I am flying mine on a sato 50. It fly's great.Last night i was talking to my son about reducing the plans to a 50" wing an powering it with electric.

Thanks. I think I'll give it a try. Might be a few days before I can fly it, though, since Hanna seems to be heading our way[&o]

I have one with a Magnum 70 4 stroke and it is very aerobatic. I fly it both with and without wheels.

The fellow I got mine from only flew it off water. I never got any wheels.

The wheels on mine just slip into two brass tubes running crossways of the fuselage and then the nose wheel. Looks kinda funny taking off from the grass. It sets very low to the ground. Flys like it is on rails.
