Default RE: Slo-V

As of yesterday morning I have 5 flights in complete with successful slow loops and controlled landings. After that first windy flight, I haven't nosed it in hard enough to damage anything (crossing my fingers). I ordered the 8.4v from the LHS saturday, it should be in tomorrow, looking forward to see if she can climb into the wind with it.
Word of advice, be careful of the antenna wire. I inadvertently stepped on it picking the plane up. I didn't realize it until the next flight, but I bent the support that the antenna and pushrod go through. Serious down and left trim issues! The little plane was easy to fix though, and up she went again.
highpines, my plane came with 1147s. Did you switch out to the 1260, and if so, what benefits did you gain?
