Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

I flew mine this weekend . I converted it to electric and got one flight in. First off I used what I had laying around for power. Neu 1521 2y with 12s 1p 3700 evo batteries. This set up is a little to hot because I could only swing a 9 X 6 prop. It tacked out at 26000 on the ground and it felt and sounded really good but it just wouldn't get up and go once it was up in the air. I think you need at least a 10 inch prop at minimum but an 11 would be better. My cg was at 9 1/2 but I think 10 would be better. My batteries need to be all the way back as far as I could get them. I had to dremmel out all the bulkheads so they could slide all the way back to the wing spar rod. I got rid of the front wing rod and drilled it out to 1/4 20 to hold the wings on. I think this was the easiest way to secure the wings. She wieghed in at 9 lbs ready to fly and I felt she handled this weight with ease. Now I just need to get a different motor or less batteries before I can fly again.
