E-flite Ultimate 3D
As some of you know I crashed my Mini Funtana and now I want a foamie but I wanted to have to just buy an airplane, nothing else. So I did some poking around and I looked at the Ultimate and it looked pretty good for what I wanted. My question is though I have a Park 400 4200kv and a Thunder Power 11.1V 2100mAh Li-Po. Is that to much motor for it? If worst comes to worst I can always just use the supplied 370. I know I can always throttle back. And Do you think the battery is to much for this airplane? Thanks.

RE: E-flite Ultimate 3D
The E-Flite Ultimate needs to be kept light in order for it to fly well. I've tried it with the Park 370 5100 and a 1500 Kokam and it was too heavy. It just kind of wallowed around the sky. When I switched over to a HECEL 1450 or a GWS 1000 it flew much better. All packs were 3s1P's.

RE: E-flite Ultimate 3D
Hey now,
I fly mine with a Himax 2025 4200 (equivelent size/weight as park 400), CC 25 amp esc, APC 12-6 slofly prop, and 3s 1500 Kokams. Sometimes if I'm short a charged pack I'll use a TP2100 3s pack. Don't worry about it, just go ahead and fly. I often get told I've got too much weight on mine, or that the drive setup is overkill. Then they see it fly... and whine about how under powered their model is. Also you won't be happy with the little can motor they provide, even they say it won't do 3D with it.

RE: E-flite Ultimate 3D
Heck the 370 brushed motor on the Eflite Ultimate will barely fly the plane.
I think you could use your motor, but you may want to get a 1200-1500mah li-po at some point to reduce the weight a bit. I use the TP 1320mah 3S1P li-po's on mine and at 14.4oz it flies great. I also use the HiMax 2812-0650 outrunner though, yours should have a good bit more power and I have enough to hover.

I flew my Eflite Ultimate with the Himax 6.6:1 HA2025 (Park 400 equivalent) setup. It had plenty of power. Easy hovering, and an incredible sound that was, believe it or not, realistic!
You won't be disappointed with this setup (3 cells, Phoenix 25, Airtronics rx and servos).
