Default RE: NEW~~~E-Flite Extra 260 480 ARF~~~

I don't think that cyclon is a good choice if it needs a 14" prop, i am using a 11x5 and it's already close to the ground on take off and landing. Wouldn't go past 12"

I made a short vid using a 10x5E xoar, i was getting cutoffs on the 11" and i thought it was too much for the motor, turns out it was a bad motor lead connection (i think, haven't flown since i re did them) Anyway it's a great plane and will be a top performer if i can sort the power system issues i was having.

Phoenix 35
kontronik maxi dancer (66 grams)
vislero 1300 mah 20C 3 cell (110 grams)
bluebird 371's all around
7P rx
11x5 xoar (switched to 10x5 in the vid, much better power on 11x5)

Auw; unknown, guessing sub 26oz

Note the cutoffs were making me very very nervous. Hope you like the running comentary by my friend "Jello"
