I converted the Guillows "flying machine" into rc. I used a 5 gram bl motor, but that made the model just barely clinging on to it`s flying altitude, so i tried mounting a 7 gram motor without too much happening to it`s performance. And finally after trials, mounted a 10 gram b.l. motor (hextronix) and a Corona RS 410 II receiver along with a turnigy 6amp esc from Turnigy. Battery is 240 or 350 mAh 2 cell. Two 2 gram servo`s for rudd/ele contrl. Great performance and lot`s of fun flying! :-)
@ib422000 No. He's using the Parkzone Vapor motor which isn't powerful enough to fly one of these Guillows; he needs to drop the P-51 motor in it. Had the same problem when I was putting mine together. Check out my videos if you want to see one that flys.

It's the parts from a parkzone micro model. Around $70 for the electronics assuming you have a transmitter
