Default RE: e-flite mini edge 540

Well Maiden was pretty wild. I have never flown anything with this much power before so it was a little scary. The plane was off the ground in 3 feet and 2 feet in the air doing all kinds of squirrly stuff--i backed off the throttle to about 1/2 and flew the pattern so to speak, to clicks down trim and she flys great. i have the trown set at the low rate settings and she rolls unbelivably quick in both directions, she loops very well, and lands quite hot. Knowing this was a cap i littleraly flew it to the ground on a paved strip, she bounced a bit but when all was said and done she was fine, tipped one of the wheel skirts back just a bit. I flew for 7 minutes and it was a great time. Since then the weather has been so crappy here in the north east I havent been able to get her up again.

By the sounds of it I;m going to pickup a 40 amp esc tonight sounds like it will solve alot of my problems, will allow me to either put on a cobri or an outrunner. Right now the plane runs fine--however its extremely noisy and the shaft on my first gearbox was bent out of the bag so I know they atre fragile. Hnce the outrunner or cobri thought.
