Maiden of Pulse XT 25e. Flys real nice and smooth, just a couple trim clicks. Lands a lot faster than the Mini Pulses. Wind doesn't knock it around or slow it down that much. My largest plane to fly so far. Specs...Turnigy 35-48 11kv motor, Turnigy 60a Sentry ESC, HS225 servos, power is 2 Zippy 2200 mah 25c batteries tied together in parrell. Prop was a APC 13x8e, not sure that was the best prop. Will try a 13xx6.5 and 12x8. Flight time was about 12 minutes I think. From the first flight to the last the battery was never un plugged. At the end there was 35% left in the batteries.
If you have a DX6i radio, and a 6 channel Rx, set up spoilerons, start with about 25%. I just did this to mine and it made a huge difference in landing. It takes the bounce out of it. Check out a recent video with and on board camera. I now run a power 32 and 4s. But have another running this motor.

This is a great plane, mine has the 25e in it and is less powerful then your's. I have to use a lot more runway to take it off, and its probably the hardest plane I own to land. With the 3200mAh batteries i use, i get about 15 mins of flight, I haven'thad a dead stick yet, but i have had a few bad landings resulting in snapping off the front landing gear, and one where i hit a park cone and ripped half of an aleron off. Its still flying well though, even with its battle scars!

Just seeing the bigger plane takes some getting use to. I'm been on high rates for a while, it's a very nimble plane. Check out my recent on board video.

I love this plane. I maidened mine today. I was kinda scared because this is a HUGE step up from my ParkZone Trojan! But, I had a couple of awesome flights. I'm running a Power25, 12X8 APC, Turnigy 3S 4000mah. 15-17minute run times, and putting back around 3600mah! SweeeT!

I only flew it once with this motor, I had 2 1800 parkzone 3s batterys this flight. Not bad but I wanted more. I bought a power 32 and run a 4s 2150 rhino and a turnigy 2650 4s. I get 8-10 and 10-12 minutes with mixed flying. I usually have 25-30% left. I don't want to dead stick this plane!

Are you using 2x 2S batteries? or 2x 3S batteries?
I have this plane and use a Power 25 with 3S 3200mAh batteries.
How long are your flights with this motor/battery configuration?
