Interesting. I bought a brand new one of these and took it for it's first flight a week ago. With a full charge on the battery and everything set up correctly, I attempted a ground takeoff from tar. Over 100 feet of ground roll and it never left the ground. It just veered off the track. I tried 4 times to get it in the air without success. I don't even dare hand launch the thing since it appears it doesn't have enough power to fly. I'm bummed.
@Didgeman80 From personal experience I'd say use a 3 Cell 11.1V LiPo....IMO it works a lot better. For ESC I would say that the amp rating should be less than the battery's maximum discharge rate so it won't stress the battery...likewise the motor should also have a rating that is less than the rate of the esc so as to not burn it out......
@Didgeman80 I would say 7.4 is not a good choice for this plane, i upgraded mine from stock to 4500kv with 60A on 11.1v, its absolutely great. Had a short flight but then weather is not co-operating with me here! hehe
Is it easy to put brushless motor on it?

Great landing! What ESC did you use and what is the KV rating on your motor? What lipo are you using?
I've put in a 1530kv brushless with an 18a esc but I havn't had my maiden yet due to the wind. Not sure if I should use an 11.1v or a 7.4v
Didgeman80 1 year ago
Stock ESC, and I can't remember the KV because I sold that plane a long time ago. I was also using a 9.6v NiMH battery as well.

Well I always like more power but it's got plenty right out of the box.

By the way does it come with a brushless motor or did you put that in?
dmorgantube 2 years ago
No it DOES NOT come with a brushless motor. I put that in myself.

I'm looking at getting this plane for my first RC, do you think it would be suitable?
