i know this may be absurd to ask (since you may waste a perfectly good day for flying), but after all the suggestions and all the changes... wouldn't you like to try it with the 40 to see if it flies first? I am curious to know if it will get off the ground with the changes suggested...
Yea, a 6lbs trainer with a .40 and a 11x6 prop is exactly what I have. The thing climbs like a tame sport plane. Leave the combo and find out what's wrong with the airframe. A bigger motor won't fix an airframe problem. (Well, within reason of course

)
