Default Power system

Hey everyone, There are probably posts already about this but i thought i would ask.

I have the E-flite Extra 260 480, and the park 480 does not seem to have enough verticle, it hovers at full throttle then starts to fall out. I have tried all sorts of different props, and was wondering about a new motor. whats your guys opinion, I have been looking at the Rimfire 35 30 1250, the maxi dancer, Extreme Flight torque, or a hacker motor, I just dont want to strap a Power 10 to it.

If i could get some input that would be great.

Thanks, Jeff.

A little more info please? It helps us to help you if you can provide us with info such as battery brand, mah, discharge rate, and what speed controll you're using.

This sounds like you are not using the correct battery. Are you using a 3 cell, 2100 mah with at least 15C discharge, and are you using high powered plugs, like Deans?
