If I could make a suggestion.....I would go with a higher powerd pack than the Aerobird packs. Eight cells will give the extra rpms that you need. When I started flying my jet, I would go half throttle on the straight aways and full throttle in the turns. Powering into the turns helps to keep the jet in the air. When turning, don't forget to pull up as you turn, this keeps you at a level altitude. Check my page below.....there is a movie of it flying with the stock battery and motor....you will see that I do not loose altitude when turning. It will come to you in time. Keep the two part epoxy thinned down with alcohol so it will not bee thick and HEAVY! Keep her light.
