It's a Sig Seniorita at 3 pounds. It flew originally very nicely with a .30 4 stroke but this E Flight 15 has quite a bit more power. It's off the ground in 15 to 20 feet and off the water in about double that. A full throttle pass down the runway and pull straight up will get an up line of about 400 feet before to starts to get mushy. My flights usually consist of touch and goes, several loops and rolls, a few slow and full throttle passes and some general putting around at part throttle. Old guy stuff, no 3D.
Flight times are 15 to 20 minutes with about 2/3 of the pack capacity used. The motor is pulling 420watts at WOT with a fresh pack. Hope that helps.

Good info there, thanks. I built a Senoirita many years ago. I had an OS 25 2stroke in it. Had over 500 flights on it when I sold it. I could easily hover it into a wind, even to the point that it would move backwards a little. I like the slow flying ones too, that's why I love Cubs I guess.
