I made this comment to the owner of the plane an he agreed. An avid electric modeler at the field who whitnessed the flight suggested a replacement motor to the owner. The owner questioned this individual about cost and hes was told about $150.00 USD. When the owner heard this his reply was I can't afford it. This is not the first underpowered electric model I have seen fly at our location. It is my opinion that most over the counter electric airplanes lack performance. I have seen to many of these crash because of lack of power.
