What is the all up weight?

Many setups will work in that plane.

Motor, cruising around, not over powered but still fun. Run a 12X6 APC E prop. Puts out about 5.5 pounds of thrust at 600 watts Move up to a 12X8 and it goes up to 7 pounds and 650 watts.

Thanks for all the info! Prop calculator is very cool! The all up weight is 5.5 lbs without battery. Heard those Gen Ace batteries were very good. Also good batteries for EBBUDDY (Glacier).
