Hey Chuck,,thanks for the info on the hobby shops..2 things ,i really want to get my strker flying faster but dont know anything about the motors or what ESC i should go with or that would even work ,,like i said ,i know Helis inside and out but nothing about planes or edf jets but really want to learn more about em..i also have that mig-29 running on a 2200Mah 3s..but man its been crap and sounds like crap,so i dont know if im ever gonna get this thing going ,but out of the box said 70MPH,,this thing isnt flying 45MPH and the guys said when i flew it to bring it down it sounds bad. so ive been reading and trying to learn more about these things but you know when you start,,i feel like a deer in the head lights right now. any advice would be greatly appreciated,,Thanks Chuck..i also hear people are flying at shields and fowler now,,have you been out there?
