I am just getting introduced to the hobby and received by Sig LT-40
ARF yesterday.  I bought a Tower Hobbies .46 ABC engine to go along
with it.  After reading several posts, I wonder if this engine was the
right choice.  Should I return it for a Thunder Tiger .46, or should I

I have a .61 sized Cub that needs little help getting on the
ground.  I guess I spoiled myself with my Twist where I could come in
