I have the 63e version. I used the recommended Hyperion motor and Hyperion ESC with it. Its got plenty of punch in my opinion. Im using a TP extreme 4s 4600mah lipo
Here's its maiden flight if I remember correctly...sorry for the poor video..but maybe it will give you an idea of the vertical performance on the OEM setup.

Im not much of a pattern pilot, but it will do intermediate no problems. I havent tried the P sequences with it...
