I saw some stuff on the World Air Games on EF's site but I have no knowledge of what is required for that competition. What kind of patterns do they fly and what is the duration of a competition flight? Also, any idea what equipment he used in his model?

I got the impression that it is more of a Freestyle event, maybe the Artistic Aerobatics event. I have a 2-meter Funtana that I play with some. I have an E-Flite Power 160 in it now but for a while I had a Hacker C50 14XL, which at the time was the same motor I was using in my electric Partner in 2004 and 2005. One thing I noticed, 7 and a half minutes of 3D flying would consume a lot less power then 7 and a half minutes of pattern flying.
