I don't think he wants to say what electronics he's got in there because that way you can't prove he wasn't flying 130. I have to admit though, whatever is in there its fast!
Just flew mine the other day in 10 to 15 mph winds. power is os 55 max and radio is a spekDX7 Very smooth and predictable. A few notes if you own this plane you should know.
It looks to good to fly it, but it flys great.The landing gear could have bigger wheels for those grass fields and I recommend a paved surface for take offs and landings. Last note, have plenty of space to fly this thing. It's quik and can burn up realestate fast.Later on and remember soon or later they all hit the ground.
Very Very nice crosswind landing!! I see your work. Also 130mph is sick for the sundowner!!!

Found this on an RC Groups thread; not verified but seemed legit:
"This is a fellow club member's Sundowner 50. He is running the
recommended E-Flite Power 46, an E-Flite 60 Amp ESC, a Thunder Power
6S1P 5000 mAh li-poly and an APC E 12X8 prop. The 6S is actually one
cell over what the 46 is rated at, so he was careful to not stay at WOT
for very long.
This is a beautiful ARF from Hangar 9! Nice flying, Efrain!"

@stmbastmba Nice video, I like this plane, but I fly mostly warbirds. Awesome speed, what's the reason for not using the glow engine on it?
