Hey nice skills! I got the same model (and enjoy it a lot) with a different motor (Pulso KA36-28S) with 1140 KV, same prop and a little smaller LiPo (Hyperion 1600 mAh 25/45C), still good flying and nice 3D, but I cannot go vertical that easy as you do. Any ideas? Could be due to a slightly heavier weight? Unfortunately Park 480 is not sold that much (if not at all) in my country, so I cannot test it with that motor yet. Tnx for your help.

@deimos2k6 Thanks! I did a little research on your motor, and it looks like it might be a tiny bit too small, and I think that's why yours is lacking a little power. You could try a 10x5 which might increase a little power, but other than that your battery and everything else looks fine. I'm glad you like the plane! I love it and it's one of my favorite small electrics. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks again!

@deimos2k6 No problem! You, too!

@TyMac300 Tnx for the tips, what I'm going to do now is searching for a better motor, I believe that's the big deal for the moment :-)) Have good flyings!

@willischasinghighs Thanks! It's a little awesome plane. E-Flite Power 10? That's insane (insane is awesome)! Agreed, the torque rolls aren't that easy, but if you put it just a tiny bit tail heavy it's much better. Thanks again!

[willischasinghighs]

Hey mate I got myself one of these after pounding my PA extra in, your vid inspired me :). Its not a bad little plane at all for it's size! Respect for the torque rolls! I think there pretty hard to hold on this model cause it snaps out easily! i put an e-flight 10 in mine! it's nuts on the vertical. I'll get someone to do a vid and post in to the Telford model club channel. There is a crap iPhone vid of my e flight ultimate and pilot yak on there if us wanna go look :) both on mega windy days
