As much as I like the looks of this plane, and NEED TO HAVE IT, it will turn out a bit heavy for its size. I am sure it will fly extremely well though. It has slightly less wing area than the Fliton Quiet Storm but will weigh 8-12 oz more. The QS has around 340 in^2 on 21 oz weight.
<br><br>I agree the TP 1320 or PQ 1500 pack is probably the way to go with this one. <br><br>I think I am going to place an order. I am still kicking myself for getting outbid on eBay for a Brian Hebert Patriot airframe the other day. The auction closed at $138.

nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br>Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] mini Brio<br><br>Most of the planes in that size range as the Mini-Brio all use 2100mah 3S<br>packs and are all under 45 inches and 35 ozs. There are a whole bunch of
<br>them around 40 inches and 20 to 30 ozs. already available. Just take a look<br>at the Park Flyers listed at Esprit Models. I don't know what the Mini Brio<br>specs are but liimiting it to this size makes a whole bunch of planes that
<br>are already available viable for mini electric pattern. Quiet Storm,<br>Flubber, EV and a bunch of other Fliton and E-Flite planes for example. 1<br>meter would knock out the Quiet Storm for one. It is 43 inches. Why do we
<br>always have to think metric?<g><br><br>I haven't told Ed Alt yet, but I think this is going to basically be the<br>size limitation for the mini pattern contest that we are hoping to run at<br>Pocono this year on Saturday evening.<g>
