Hey. I really enjoyed your video. That's still low kv for that setup. You can run a 15 x 10 no problem. I run 15 x 6/8 props on 550kv and 570kv making big power on aerobatic monoplanes at 6 pounds. I grew up flying that plane on glow. I'm 47 now and Still like the oldies too. Great video
Don't know if I mentioned it but 15x10 is the prop that is on it. I have started to push more kv on some planes. The Decathlon 40 runs 560kv and is a bit of a screamer. I'm pretty happy how the Skybolt flies. Much more power than the old .61 and I'm sure that old air frame enjoys less vibration.
@LilSkiRC in your video you mentioned that it was 15 inch prop but I didn't catch what pitch if you did mentioned it but great that's what you're looking for anyhow. I was going to purchase a lower kv motor myself and try with the same setup as you on a lighter airframe. I'm currently running sunnysky and scorpion motors. I've tried a few cheaper motors lately with great results. Cheers

Where is the access for the battery. A pic would be great. Nice flyer.
