i would go with the recomended setup. the brushless u have to go with for the rc u biplane but u can use that on the flatana also. i have the turmoil (that has seen so better days) so i should have the flatana tomarrow. best tip is to cut the openingsin the hinges a little bigger so they dont break when u put it togetter. alot of people dont like the flatouts but i think u cant beat them for the price and the hinge system that nobuddy else has. i wish the turmoils was still avalable from tower but the dicontenued it for some reason. great flyer.
