Default RE: Thinking of buying an E-starter

syco your choice is a good one, I will say having had and flown a couple ES that you would be more happy with the lower KV set up
http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...3.8_Prop_Combo
this will allow you to use the torque over the speed while in the learning curve
couple hints to help your new ES survive it's first few,, eh er non scheduled landings
when building install CF tube or rod down the fuse from behind the rear windsheild area to the front of the elevator stab
I went a lot longer than most before it happened but at some pont the tail is gonna get broke, this early mod will help tremendously
also go with the 3S, you would most likely not be happy with the performance of the 2S, also 2200 is the perfect size pack for this plane
you may need to move the pack forward some to get your CG correct
hope this helps some
