Arch flys as big as anyone I've watched and when he lands his batts are barely warm.

Masters takes about 6 1/2 minutes or so, Advance takes 5 1/2 for me and I fly big with long turn arounds.

I use every inch of the box I can.

We were discussing this at Green Sea, Masters "can" be flown with 4000's but the airplane was designed for 5,000's to make weight, Seems there's a consensus that Electric airplanes fly best between 10.5 and 11 pounds for the wing loading by design. I think that is correct.
