Haven't had mine in the air yet but it does seem to have good thrust. It went together well. The rx and the controll are seperate. It does say 40a on the bec and 9.6v on the battery. I have to use the charger that came with it as I don't have the right kind of adapter to use my other equipment. Any suggestions. And yes it does steer on the ground with a steerable nose wheel powered by it's own servo. I did not use the glue that came with it, I used epoxy instead. I was able to hold the motor pods on without having to use the tape. Used regular canopy glue with rubber bands until the canopy dried. Looks good. If the wind is not blowing 90mph I will try it out today. Left the gear off so I could land in the snow.
