Mike,

You are correct to say that the Groovy took some effort to get it to fly straight. In my case, the stab was warped and the wing incidence was off. Once all of that was taken care off, it turned into decent plane. If anything, it taught me the importance of making sure that things were straight as well as trimming. In the process, the plane lost 1/2 lb (new gear, no nose weight, no receiver pack, new spiner). It started at 6 lbs, and with that little wing it was a lot of "fun" to fly. I am certain that the Angel will be a lot easier.

My intended set up for the Angel will be:

AXI 4120/18
14x10 or 14x12 APC-E
5S1P 3700 mah Rhinos
70 amp Jeti Opto-plus controller
Castle BEC
Hitec MG 225 on the wings
DS821 for the rudder and elevator

My set up is probably modest, it is good for about 800-850 watts, but it used to fly a Morris Hobbies Balsa Nova quite well, in-spite of its 6 lbs weight. With the Balsa Nova, I used to be able to do the square loop required in the intermediate schedule without running out of steam. We will see, I can always upgrade to a 4130/16 that I also own.
