I watched a bunch of videos where people went to 4s power, but it seemed they all ended up breaking off the front of the fuselage where the motor mount is located because of the stress the added power cause the thin fuselage. So, I've opted to stick with with 3s. I have an Ugly Stick that was 3s. I upgraded the ESC and fly it all the time with 4s 2200's. I put little collered dots on the side of the fuselage for every time I have taken it to the field. Kind of like completed missions during WWII. I'm up to 85 trips, or somewhere between 170 and 230 flights because I fly it 2 or 3 times each time it goes to the field. This is the plane I fly when I want to step it up. But the Valiant is a close second in times taken to the field. I put a stress crack in it's wing. I took it up high started straight down, and gave full throttle and right rudder, along with full Up elevator and full right aileron. It was just spinning like a top until I pulled it out. Probably 15 complete revelutions in 4 or 5 seconds. The crack was at the trailing edge of the wing and was about 1.5" long. A little epoxy and a few toothpicks and I'm back to doing that same spin. You should try it with your 4s set up.
Best flier from e-flite👍
Awesome I had one as my second plane now I have a bunch of others but nice flying
Always a fun plane to fly.if you want to take it to the Next Level..
I installed Timber tires, and run on 4s.
