2200's may be a squeeze in the battery compartment of this plane and would also make her nose heavy I would say.
I used to fly mine with a 3S 1350 and then I bought a Hyperion 1600 that just fits and offers nice long flights.
Just a heads up on a mod that may save a hassle later on ............... the tiny little screws (one each side) that locate and fix the undercarriage wing in place - these come loose and this small wing flops about, then you can't tighten them without removing the wheels. Use bigger screws and epoxy them in.
I also replaced the axle with CF rod, so long ago I can't remember why but I had to do it for some reason

Cool little anytime flyer, I took mine to the beach the other day and it landed on wet sand well. Hope it lasts as long as mine has

Maidened mine yesterday. Flies great when you slow it down some. It was acting nose heavy so I did a glide test and it seems a bit tail heavy?? I have the cg at the factory mark what do you run yours at?

Its the same question with all planes,,,is the elevator set to center or is it up or down a little after you tweaked the trims on the tx during the maiden ?

It was a bit down elevator after trimming it out at half throttle. I had a 3s 1300mAh battery for the first flight. Last time she went up I threw a 1500mAh battery in it all the way forward and she flew great with no elevator trim. COG was about .25" in front of the factory measurement which really surprised me - usually the factory marks are a bit nose heavy. She flies great when she is balanced.
