I understand the ability to do that, but I hesitate to do this because although I used BEC circuitry in my RC cars, I dont like the idea of my Rx battery becoming drained. I can handle deadstick landings, but "dead plane" landings are a different story. Based on the current flight characteristics of this plane, I think it can handle the extra battery weight just fine. I was hoping some others with this Plane/engine combo could weigh in on how it flies.
the new engine arrived yesterday and I am really eager to get it ready to go and sew how it performs.
