I have been flying this airplane on 6s during the past contest season and did very well with it.
While it does fly nicely on 6s, it does not have the vertical performance of the 2-meter pattern ships.
The APC 11X8E prop they recommended in the instructions is the worst prop of all the ones I tried.
It pulled lots of amps with the least performance. The Graupner G-Sonic 15X10 worked well but a Falcon carbon 16X10 is my favorite.
I still found myself adding power early to compensate during large vertical maneuvers.
Currently I’m in the middle of converting my Sequence over to a 8s setup.
I hope this will make me more competitive with the 10s 2-meter planes.
