While I am impressed with the speed and low price I am looking for any suggestions finding a similar plane. Thanks all.

Great Planes rifle looks like the cheapest way to go fast in electric to me. Should be a lot more solid construction compared to an epo and so handle high speed and high G's a lot better, not sure if you can turn it like a Q500 without folding the wings though.

The rifle is a heavy plane. i looked at it and it was portly. i have had three planes that size for electric and they were less weight than the rifle empty when they were ready to fly.....

Other people are putting something like an 8 to 12S lipo on Great Planes Revolver. One of my future projects.
