I converted mine to Epower in July. I just re-maidened it over the weekend, I'm running a Rimfire 1.20, with a 100 amp esc (not HV), and 6S 4000 packs. It flies awesome! Still a killer plane. I get 5 minutes from a battery, with mixed throttle. Haven't tried anything post stall with it, but all the normal aerobatics (Cubans, Reverse Cubans, aileron rolls, 4 points, slow rolls, snaps, hammerheads, inverted, etc.) it will handle with ease. This is one of the best handling planes I have, very predictable, easy to fly, and so much fun you want more.
