It's an E-Flite Series Six 2700kV motor, with 3S 2100 25C pack and one of my controllers that isn't fried at the moment, forget which. With a CAM 5x5 it pulled 33 amps static, but eventually I found that the aircraft performed a hair better with an APC 5.1x4.5 - it is a 15% thick wing after all. It Wav-O-Scoped at 208kph on the APC prop.

Any kit/scratch builders probably know what I am talking about when I say that in my hands, the airframe "feels" perfect for a .15 (and also feels like it will happily take a .25). I also think it will perform very, very well on the lekkie setup I have for it.

I hate LE sheeting.
