here is my setup. I have a Magnetic Mayham I retimed, ($20.00) a gd600 gear box($14.00). I am running the medium ratio and a 10X8 prop. I have a Dymond 50 amp ESC. I picked up two packs of 2 6 cell 2400 mah nicds for Hobby People when they have a good sale. I solider them up in a 10 cell pack. To get the gear box in there you will need to do some trimming of the wood in the nose. You could also use an inline gear box but they are a little more money.

When I hand launch it, it climbs at a near vertical climb out. I guess that I get around 5 minutes of flying per charge. I am to bussy flying to watch the clock.
