The APC slow flies are the buisness, I find the GWS orange ones break too easily.

As to your latest looks great, 15amps on a 10x7 should give you approx 150 watts at 10volts which at 20onz is 150/1.25=120watts/lb should be more than adequate to fly well, its not a speed demo though, I'd be wary on the first flight in case of the dreaded flutter.

I'd also be tempted to try a stiffer prop than the slow fly on this craft, better characteristics for the type of plane, its does not look like a slow fly, but not a speed demo either.

How did the maiden go?
