Little over 9KG like 9.1 or 9.2 can tell you if i got all done

Mine weighs 19lbs 4oz completely RTF. DLE 55/ES pipe, 2 Fromeco 2600 Li-Ion batterys located on the engine box.

How does it fly with the dle? How well does it pull out of a hover?

The motor is brand new with less than 2 tanks through it. It will pull out of a hover but it is pretty slow. The plane needs more power than my DLE currently provides, even with the pipe. It really flys the plane pretty well, just not great power for 3D, or to get you out of trouble. I hope it improves as it breaks in or I may swap it out for something else. I also need to play with props a little bit once it starts to break in. I am currently using a Vess 23B Stealth prop.

Damm Eric...you've already got one flying ...I'm jealousy! The motor will "get" more rpm and response as you get more fuel through it. I'd try a 24B once it's broken in. Are you getting any midrange or transition stumbles with the ES pipe?

I want to see the decals you put on your 91, bryant330l

The motor ran perfectly right out of the box. The transition, idle and top end are all set pretty well being careful not to have it too lean since it is new. This combo runs so well I would hate to have to replace it for more power. We will see how it breaks in. We haven't had many nice flying days since I completed it. Here are some pictures.

That thing is gorgeous.
