Good flying plane. Using an E flight 32, ThunderPower 4s4200 pack, recommended APC electric prop (I believe 13 inch but I'll check) and 60A Castle speed controller. Airplane is fast and precise with this setup and flies well in wind. Aileron rate is quite high so I set mine up with dual rates for tame (pattern) setup on low rate. Using a separate battery (780 maH Lipo) for rx which works well for a few-flight flying session. No modifications other than removing the covering from two of the lightening holes in the bottom fuselage for additional air exit for optimum performance with this setup.<br>

Well I didn't win Advanced at the Albuquerque pattern contest but I
did win a Diamante 25e in the raffle! Does anyone out there have one?
My understanding is that if it is set up for performance it flys
really well. What setups work well (prop, motor, ESC, Battery)? BEC or
separate receiver battery? What is a reasonable all-up weight?
Thanks in advance
Jeff
