well i just got back from a flight. And I agree a brushless is needed for really extreme flight. But the stock motor it comes with gets the job done at a so-so level. I really don't understand why hobby companies cheap out and include a motor that is under par. Why not just cater to the people buy these people that want performance. They could probably pick up a little extra too.And the companies videos say,no need for a brushless conversion on this Yak, and so on and they show it hovering and stuff with the stock motor. I am angry because now i bought all the stuff for the stock set up and i'm out of cash for a brushless set up. Misleading.Period. I am new to E-flight and I didn't really think they would do this.
