Have you run the spe yet? You might be disappointed . A lot of people have been having trouble with them. The engine just does not put out the power it should with out some expensive mods being done to it. A good 26cc will out pull it.

I have one with a Brillelli 36GT ( 36cc ) and it flys good, but could still use more power.
I am in the process of putting a CRRC Pro GF50EI on it.
The CRRC is swinging a Mejzlik 22 X 10 @ 7000rpm.
Same weight as the Brillelli.
Should be a good combo.
It is porky, mine is 14 + lbs.
It could be lighter, but I always put 2 RX batteries in my gassers.
I also did the pull pull on rudder and used pin hinges.

By the way, I also had TNT make me a new set of landing gear.
There was nothing I could do to keep the tail on the ground on taxi.
The gear that I had made is wider, taller ( larger props ), and swepted forward 2 inches.
This is the best thing I could have done for this plane.
