May I ask what battery you're using now?
Thunder Power 2s 910mAh. The box says the plane is supposed to weigh 85 grams. I weighed mine and it came out to 121 AUW. That's a quite a bit (50%) higher than what's on the box, so that may explain the poor performance. I still want to go brushless though.
Which Feigao motor do you think would work? Which prop to go with it?
