Default RE: E-Flite Gypsy

The Eflite Gypsy is a very well built and very stable plane. It would make a perfect second plane I would not recommend it to the beginer if you do not have any building or covering skills.

35.25 inch Wingspan
Flying Weight is 18oz.
Comes with geared 5.33 370 motor with 10x4.7 prop

I do not recommend using the stock motor it didnt last past breakthrough it locked up in the process. I use a gws350 motor with 12 tooth pinion retimed 8mm advance will give you approx 20% more power with no side affects of motor wear or overheating.
Radio used is a parkzone unit from a j-3 cub.
Building process was pretty straight forward when attaching the rear stabilizer cut less than what the instructions say or you will have bear balsa showing test fit everything before making any cuts in the ultracote.
