messerschmitt Bf-109G pnp rc plane from parkzone

one of parkzones pnp models is the Messerschmitt Bf-109g .It was my first war plane. this plane came out of the box with a 3 bladed prop with a 15-size 720kv brushless motor.it flew great but but the motors didnt last long.If you hit the nose on landings the motor would break.The motors where not made out of all metal , but had plastic type of end caps that broke easy.I picked up an all metal motor at local and on line place called RC HOT Deals.The new motor was twice the size of the original and could swing a 14 inch prop with a 50 amp speed controler.ther was not much of a weight differance.Ive had many flites now on this plane and many crashes allso,but motor works great.This plane is very fast with the setup i went with. I used a tunigy 40 amp brushless speed controler and program card . A bl-2826/6 730kv 175 gram brushless motor from rc hot deals. And a 12x12 E two bladed apc prop and spinner , with a 2200 mah 3-cell lipo battery. I did install the optional flaps using two 9-gram servos, a reverse y harness and the the linkage hardware that came with the plane.So overall this is a great plane.It flys very nice and looks great flying by! The flaps work great for short takeoffs,but not to much differance on landings.Even with maximum throughs on alieron control surfaces you loose alot of roll by spliting the alierons in half for flaps.you have less surface. I would highly recomend this plane
