Default RE: Estarter Build Help

I hve been flying my estarter for 1 yr . I am using the upper mount , himax geared brushless motor and a castle 25 amp esc.
With a 2000 mah battery pack running the stock prop I can fly 25 minutes with aerobatics. The cowl was destroyed when it crashed
with the stock setup , not enough power ! but i found that the cowl from the park zone decathalon will fit with some modifiaction and can take a lot more abuse. The gws planes are pretty easy builds but they do have there quirks, its a good idea to test fit before gluing. If you hot glue the sticks in for the motor mount it will save the nose from serious damage in a front crash . The glue will let go before the foam will . I have not had much luck flying these planes stock , much better with lipos and brushless systems.
Cheap planes , slope gliders , re use electronics . Dont give up , this hobby is great .
