I have a Genesis 3D with a Pletty Evo in it. Ran TP 5300 10s packs. Plane is a little on the heavy side cause its the glass version and I have dual 9151's in the fuse at the back for elevator servos, so its 5200g RTF.
However it flies well, does some pretty damn nice 3D, although its not as good as a true dedicated F3A plane, but no problem with any sequence.
With this power setup, it has buckets of jam. For just 3D 10 minute flights are no problem, for pattern stuff the usual 8 minutes applies.

Purchased a 3D genesis, looking for some feedback on engines and motors.
I will be doing 50% pattern flying, 50% 3D (i know that this plane is not a true pattern bird).
I've got it narrowed down to these choices:
1. YS 1.70
2. New Hacker Q60
3. Plettenberg 30-10
Cons for the above:
1. Vibration, tuning, noise
2. new on the market, batteries expensive, short flight times
3. only heard great things about this motor, expensive batteries, short flight times
Love the feel of four strokes, great low end torque.
I'm open to something different as long as it can compare to the power of the YS, this will be my first large electric.
Any suggestions?
