As long as the plane is about 14-18 oz, I think it will fly, though a little anemic. Try to use a small Lipo 2 or 3 cell lipo with 15-20 amp discharge to be safe, if not, then maybe 7-8 cell Nimh AAA or smaller pack. What prop are you gonna use? 11 inch or the 12x6?
Im assuming that is the red E-flite Ultimate FX 3d?
