they are out of stock but you can speak to store about new stock.

these are better or equal to nano-tech batteries.

It seems your model is way too overpowered for its small size. Try going for a lighter motor with a lower thrust. Your model is as it is much smaller than the actual plans. And also try using a 2S setup for the same.

Overpowered  :o :o
All these days i was thinking that it is underpowered  :( :(
Are you sure ???
My plane's lenght is 30 cms. While its wingspan is 48 cms.

The full scale one was designed to be used with a CD-Rom Motor. So you should scale down accordingly.

Yeh i saw that but it was rewound accordingly
I myself made one. It was quiet powerful though

Can you tell me what will happen with overpowered setup ??

Low flight times. I don't think the structure is designed for such loads etc.
