Default RE: Nitro Models E-3D Electric Model

Mine weighs in at 25 oz. Using a AXI 2212/26 swinging a APC 10/5E Prop.

Current is 11.1 Amps on a 3S-1P 1800 MAH 20C pack. Have in the range of 100 flights on it now and it really is a nice flying plane. I don't do 3D with it, but it does nice manuevers of the normal and more calm nature. Flights are in the range of 9-12 minutes.

I did have to use 2 servos for the elevator to get it to respond well in pitch. It had a tendency to snap on full pull. Seems that one side of the elevator was not moving the same amount under pressure. 2 servo solved it.

As to stall characteristics, I haven't had any problems in that area. Any plane will stall if you slow it down too much. But this one lands pretty well and a moderate speed.
