I know brushless would fix the power problem, the cost is not an option right now though. I may opt for the GP T-370 next time I replace the motor to see how it does. Last night flying it home in the cul-de-sac I bounced it off a tree following multiple snap rolls and a lack of power to pull out. So for now I put the 400 on it. At least I got the CG forward so maybe it will fly a bit better now. I think it has just a bit more power, should be enough to hold a hover at full throttle now. If I have time at lunch today, I'll go give it a whirl and see how it does.

Maybe after the fist of the year I'll be able to get a brushless setup, but I am still not sure if I will want to continue flying these little planes. The only attraction for me is that I can leave it the car and fly it at any park. With a brushless setup this plane will be more costly than my 40 size profile glow plane and so-so flight characteristics in comparison.
