I built the VP sidewinder & it fly's really nice. One of my favourites so far.
VP Sidewinder
My foamboard is a little heavy so I add an inch to the nose as they always come out tail heavy.
It's 590 grams all up with a 3s 1300 pack I get around 4.5 mins flight time.
Its running a 2212 930kv cheap chinese motor / 20amp esc - 9x6 APC prop. I think it pulls around 12-13 amps full throttle, if i remember the watt meter reading correct...
It fly's a bit sluggish at half - 3/4 throttle & flys really nice at full throttle so I think I need more power.
Should I prop up or bigger motor ? If bigger motor what size would you recommend ?
