this is also my first kit
i dont know if thats a good combo but im gonna try it anyways.

For the altitude, first try using a higher nitro fuel. If you are using 15%, try 25%. The added nitro usually helps substantially. If you still have a "power" problem, use a larger engine along with the higher nitro fuel.
That is a reasonably light plane. It would be difficult to lighten it up while still keeping it structurally strong. For the battery, I would not suggest using anything less than a 600 mah battery. The little bit of weight more than out weighs the possibility of the battery dying while you are in the air.
