I'm looking to buy a new Tensor 4D to try some aerobatics on. I know that it won the 1st ETOC so that's what got my attention. I'm already posotive I'm going with an AXI 2208/34 brushless. So tell me what you guys think for the rest of the setup.

Well I run mine with a 2204/54 but if you don't want to sped the time to make it lighter then the 2208 still flys good... Use an hs 56 on the ailerons and some small micro servos on the rudder and elevator. ( hs 55s or smaller) also I would get yourself a good receiver like the new M5 V2 or maybe an electron 6 ( the M5 V2 is better and lighter). For a battery use a Kokam 640 3 cell to keep it relatively light. good luck the tensor has a wobbly tail but it can be fixed and flys great once you get the bugs worked out.

I flew mine with a 2208/34, CC phx 10 ESC, TP 740mAh 3S pack, and GWS Pico servos... the Hs-56 is way too big..in my opinion......
flew very well...

but it was (yes, I used the past tense on purpose) Waaaaaaaaaay too fragile for me... I fly outside and land in grass... broke in half quickly...
if you are indoors and landing on a gym floor it will be fine....

and build it straight! make SURE everything is straight

I stripped 2 gws pico servos on the ailerons of my Tensor 4D and an hs 55 is what I ended up using and if I was doing it all over again I would use an hs 56. To stop mine from breaking in half I used fishing line bracing to stop the tail twist and to make it stronger. if you would like some picture I can take some.

yup VERY fragile!!!! it broke just by picking it up!

Mine has:

Park 370 Outrunner

HS-55s EVERYWHERE

Pheonix 10

GWS Reciever

Thunder Power 2-cell 900maH


Worked well so far. This airplane flys so strange. Needs bigger wing and thicker foam.
