The zenoah 20 is a great motor. I've got the 20 in my recently completed 96" RC Guys 150 Aerobat. No stick time on that combo yet due to weather, but I know others that have the same setup and it works well. It pulls great and it should be a nice match for the Top Flite. I'm just getting back into the sport after a 20 year hiatus and when I saw this Top Flite ARF, well the wallet came out. As mentioned in previous posts, the kit is amazing and from what I've managed to rummage through so far, there are no dissapointments. I personally am going brushless on this build. I've gone per the recomendations with the Rimfire 1.20 and lipo packs. It'll be my first large brushless. Hopefully I don't regret not going gas.
