the flatout flatana is one of the better ones of the pack, did you guys have that much problem with the hinges, heres a way to try, but all the little plastic c's ont the rod then fit them into the foam wing, then glue them on both sides it works very well and is fast. the 15c discharge rate is not needes you could be fine with less, 15c is most likely a burst, where your not really going to draw 15x your batterys voltage half of the time. i would not go with a rim fire motor. the weith to kv's arent rated well a 1000 i think if your going to spend the money go with an ai or even an e flite 370 1320kv, it will do the trick
