| Works good with a few mods. Don't use there motor as it is a dog.
I've been using the E-flight .15 motor with the 22 tooth pinion, and a 4 cell Thunderpower 2100mah.
The .15 is a 10 turn motor which has plenty of power and torque it's not a crazy power set up because you can't run the head speed above 2300rpm or 2400rpm max. Reason being is the tail gear ratio is to low at 4 to 1.
Also don't go above like 80% on the gov. mode. Like I mentioned before head speed is critical as if you go above 2300rpm you'll run into some crazy problems with the tail.
With this set up you can fly backwards inverted with no problem.
I'm also using a 401 gyro with the high speed Airtronics servo on the tail.
The mods done are metal head and swashplate, and a Trex aluminum brackets on the fly bar. You cut off the stock plastic nipple ends that the fly bar goes through slide those against the metal Trex parts and use wheel collars to hold them in place. You also have to make up some plastic spacers for the middle part using Sullivan stuff.
You also want to cut off about 25mm off one side of the fly bar and grind the brass weights down that will attach the fly bar paddles as they are way to heavy.
I also used an aluminum Eco 8 tail boom support bracket that holds the Eco 8 fin on to mount the tail servo to.
I used a small piece of carbon plate with two brass spacers to mount the servo to.
I also had tons of problems with interference until I switched to the new Horizon Spreadspectrun D7 radio and the two part receiver.
If you want I could send you some pictures as it's easier to see the mode that I just mentioned.
I also used a 6v voltage regulator and Hitec 85 metal gear servos.
And to top it off which isn't necessary but because of really beating on it I made up my own carbon frames with as little cut out as possible and the Eco 8 aluminum bearing block.
