Default RE: Angel S EVO Build Thread

Last weekend I tried an apc 14-8.5 prop. Amp draw was low and so was the power. Then I tried a 15-8 apc, this is the ticket. I am not sure how many amps I am pulling. Now with good power management I am getting 9 minutes of unlimited flying and I am spending less then 50 seconds above 80% throttle. My battery and motor temps are nearing 140 degrees, but it was 104 ambient.

I was ready to give up with this plane, it flies great but I hate 5 minute flights. This 15-8 prop has given me the motivation to dial the plane in. I had quite a bit of aileron trim. One tip was +2, one was -2 and the root of the wings was +.2 degrees. I twisted the wing back to +.2 at the tips and now I have removed the aileron trim.
I put in one washer of right thrust, it needs more. For now I have put in a throttle to rudder mix.
I also put in a down line mix on 1.5%
Still no mix for KE flight.[X(]
I am shocked how easy this plane does rolling circle and loops. Also, 40 size planes should not snap this good, both positive and neg.

I now have 20 flights on the plane, no loose parts, no bad glue joints, and the canopy is still tight.
