Just wondering insteading adding 2 more motors on it, what about putting a couple of bigger motors on?
We had a guy that came to one of our fly-in's and he built planes like this. They flew great to!
I have a JR 2.4 radio and can fly all my planes with just the one TX, just have to buy the RX to go into the planes.
Get - R - Done and post pictures of it in the air.

Pretty cool! My Dad was really into R/C planes back in the 50's and 60's. He actually designed and built some of the first R/C systems in the late 50's, the old reed receiver Min-X systems. No proportional control then - you had buttons you pushed on the transmitter, and the faster/more times you pushed the button, the larger the servo movement. Generally two channels, for rudder and elevator, but he did build a few with 3 channels so you could add ailerons or motor speed. You couldn't have too many channels because you couldn't simultaneously control that many buttons, not like the joystick transmitters that came along in the mid 60's. The planes had to be big to carry all the hardware - wet cell NiCad batteries and the electronics (of course that was before IC's and such). I still have a bunch of his old equipment and even some of his planes and plane kits from back in the 60's in the attic. Stick built balsa wings and fuselages were covered with silk, and "doped". Sure brings back some childhood memories!
I was never much into planes for myself - I was into R/C boats. I still have a few, including a 40" long hydroplane that really screams with a water cooled 60 size engine.

I have been flying since I was 13. All I fly now is 3D. I have had 100cc and 50cc 3D birds. Never been really scared to get them down on the Deck. Nowadays I don't have to get to the field so all I have is 25 and up to 60 size profile planes. I fly them around the house or at the school yard when I have time to sneek off. I have also pretty much gone all electric and I am serously thinking of converting my 60 size primo and mojo to electric along with my Lamyak 40 profiles.
