Dirtnapper, thanks for that info. I was at the hobby shop today browsing the horizon booklet, and stumbled upon this. Had them order me one, should pick it up next week. Just by looking at the pictures, the thing seemed very light to me.
I was planning on using the e-flite 450 outrunner motor - how do you think it compares, power-wise to your himax? I like extra power - I'm the retard who stuffed a Saito .91 into a UCD .46
This will be my first brushless/lipo electric anything airplane. I'm giving my Hangar 9 Tribute .36 PNP back to this same guy since it's still in the box. I'm done with nitro for aircraft. Fuel is too expensive.
So if anyone wants to throw some battery/charger/esc help my way, I'd love it. But I'm guessing I'll probably just follow the recommendations in the manual for that setup if I can't get much help here.
