Typically it doesn’t take a whole lot of motor to get a glider up in the air, but I just completed my BOT ep version I had on preorder forever and finally arrived right before Christmas. I went with the recommended motor, Rimfire 32 and a 3600mah 4s which I think is way too much! Should fly like a rocket, but I went with it because It seems to balance out perfectly at the recommended cog. Haven’t had the weather to get a maiden in yet, but it feels like a flying brick at just under 5lbs, 4lbs 9oz to be exact! But with its wing area and almost 10ft wingspan it should soar just fine. I think I will put spoilers on it eventually because it just looks like it will be a must, not sure why GP didn’t think it would need them, but I’ll do my maiden without... wish me luck!
