I tried looking around rcu for any info on this and couldn't find anything. This is my first plane and so far it has been a blast! I've tried a few different props and found the 7x6 to be about perfect with around 10 minute flight times.

This thing has wood! Hand launches no problem even out of my newb hands. With the nfp on intermediate or turned off this thing can climb straight up! I'm not brave enough to try anything to crazy yet but I've done rolls and loops. I've also crashed and glued and taped it back together. My last crash was in an 80 foot tree I had to stand on the roof of my Tahoe and shoot it out of the tree with my bow fishing equipment. Luckily no damage except the battery that was in it has a dead cell from being in the tree for a couple weeks.

Just ordered a couple 800mah 3s batteries with the same dimensions as the 600mah battery that came with the plane. Should get another couple minutes of flight time!

Just tried out the floureon 800 mah and they are awesome! Solid 7 to 9 minutes of hard flying with 60 foot wide open vertical climbs! Had to shave just a little foam out of the front side of the battery bay to fit but not bad. I'll probably order at least two more.
