Yes, the sunracer is in the f5d class which has about 10" more wingspan. MUCH more stable and easier to fly. Plus you can power it with that hacker 40 for some insane speed. Up till now, I've been running the aveox 27/26/1.5 with lipo's in the sunracer. I'm getting over 10 min of flight time, but I need to use alot of throttle management to keep the lipos cool. This has been a great setup for long flights and good speed all in a fairly light package. I'm now feeling the need for more speed, so I just picked up a 27/26/1 which is a lower turn motor. This forces me to use a heavy round cell pack and a bigger controller that barely fits. I'll probably get a couple mins of runtime, but hopefully at least 20% more speed. Plus I can fly full on power without worrying about overheating lipo's. Should be pretty insane, but I'm worried about launching such a heavy plane. Plus it's gonna land like a meteor.
