Hello guys,

Thanks for the advice. I did notice that the mounting pattern for the AXI is a little bigger than that for the Hacker, so I was going to ream out the holes on the AXI moung slightly in order to get everything to fit. I do not want to alter the plane at all in case I need to switch motors.

tIANcI: Do you recall how tall your so-so vertical with the 4120 was? Also, I was wondering what prop you were using at the time. I ran the numbers again last night and they seemed O.K. If need be, I can go to a 15x10 prop on 5 cells and not blow the motor or controller. My intent was to use a 14x10 initially.

I do agree that for its size, the airframe is quite light. It is quite a bit bigger than the Groovy, but will only be slightly heavier. The Groovy does handle the wind reasonably well. I suspect that the Angel will get bumped around a little. Is keeping it at 6 lbs or less too light for the plane? If that is the case, maybe I should just switch to the 4130 and move on...

Thanks for the tips,

Teo
