Hi Guys,

I have bought the same plane recently.

I Plan to use:
 
Motor: 2820/12
Prop: 10 x 5
Battery: 3700 mAH-20C-3S1P (or 1850 mAH)
ESC: 45 amp

Will this be good enough?  :headscratch:

Thanks,
Shrikant.

Dont ask such difficult questions yaar  >:D specially "when".... I am yet to buy the power set up. Mr Anand has been kind enough to guide me. So in a day or two will be finalizing that.

Where... Same ol' Airoli field... New or old depends on where the group is... When are you coming to the field?
