OK.....getting tired of trying this electric business. I added a folding prop from an Aspire sail plane mounted onto a Trinity Black Onyx motor. Holy moly!!!! Talk about thrust! It is unreal! But........my ESC from Great Planes would not handle the amperage and would kick out after a minute or so. I had a Tekin G620 laying around and that curred the high amperage draw problem.

It is windy today but I had to try it. It lifted off the ground with in two feet! But it torqued to the left bigtime. I landed a little hard and tried again but with less throttle. It was doing well until the wind slammed it into the home plate fence. Only the left wing tip was damaged .........again! I took it home and repaired everything again except the prop. My local hobby store is out of the folding props. So I mounted a Kavan 9X6 yellow prop on it which very cool and goes with the color scheme. You know......it has to look good! So........I will try her again. This next time will be the last. If it is not performing well.....I will yank it all out and go glow fuel.........that is probably what I should have done from the beginning!
