Well, it seems like there is not that many threads to discuss this wonderful flying "Kit - Model" and I have acquired one back 4 years ago and been flying mine for 3 years. Believe it or not, I was able to fly this large lady with a ASTRO FLIGHT 60 BRUSHED motor using 9S2P, Li-POLYs and it flew great! However, swinging the APC Pattern 15 X 8 heated those brushes up very much and decided to to Brushless Outrunner about 2 years ago and never looked back and made her lighter as all it needs is 6S Li-POLYs
Here's one Video showing the Brushless powered setup taken about one year ago.
