Hi all, hope everyone is doing ok. It has been a while since anyone has posted on this thread, it was a nice read and seems that everyone likes this little foamy and it's surprisingly capable and a good trainer model. I'm about to start flying competitions again after 16 years and I need a plane to practice (F-21) I know this plane is not the latest 2 meter design but I'm really eyeing the Olympus. I'm a glow guy and this is going to be my first go to epower.

Regarding batteries and weight I'm thinking on using a 5S 4300mah -35C from roaringtop https://www.roaringtopusa.com/35c-43...is-35c-4300-5s props APC 15X10/16X8. Will this setup get me through the F pattern? I will upgrade to carbon linkages and will try to safe weight where it's possible. Will use power of the batt for everything.

Thanks for any help and stay safe!
Blessings
Greg
