I'm a beginner for that hobby. I have a hotliner which one is described below:

1-Omei 2000 ep: 75!QUOT! wing span, 480sq!QUOT! wing area, total weight is about 55oz.
2- Jeti phasor 45/3, jeti esc 40opto
3- Graupner 12/6 CAM prop
4- 12C 1350mAH NimH, 8C 2400mAH NiCad

That plane has first fly in weekend. But I doubt that it could fly well? Because I couldn't find a proper battery pack combination still. Its too heavy with these battery packs. Also there are no any suitable Li-Poly flight pack (2-3C 14-18V), at least I couldn't find.
I have some doubts (actually night-mare) about landing. It should be fly fast with that wing area and weight.

Thanks for your comments and supports...
