Awesome!  Details please.
Basically this was a five year journey with 12 planes that I built in trying to understand
how ep models work.  11 planes were built with traditional balsa and sticks. Aero-5 I made
fuse molds/ stab/ pants and so forth molds like Ukrainian models.

I have great result with my Aero series, basically using European numbers such as Shark, Maxbee, Classic
on and on. My previous series were Av that used  traditional IC plane numbers that I was similar with, but
With ep, I found that European numbers and airfoil works better.

Tried many motors from Platt to Ga800 with 28 poles. Props from 11 to 13 pitch ranging from 5 to 6 and some
Undercambered including Falcon as well. They all work. Battery I prefer TP rampage 2250 6s 70c, old spin 55 as for esc.
If I have to pump up the juice I will use precisionaero  6s2600. I have great luck with that battery too.

Very nice ships. For the molded ones are you using fiberglass, Carbon fiber or balsa? If fiberglass or carbon fiber what weight and what resin?

Best,     DennisT

It’s .4 oz fiberglass sandwiched over balsa on both side . L-285 for resin.
