It seems this challenge/request has been lingering around for a while in various parts of the Internet:
How can a relative newbie to the hobby upgrade the Delta Ray so that it has more power and a longer flight time, without giving up SAFE or doing some complex overhaul?
This has been something which has been requested again and again, but for which there is still no good answer.
I personally live in a place where 10-15 mph winds blow virtually all the time. While the Delta Ray can fly in these conditions, making any headway while flying into the wind is tough. When the wind manages to overpower the plane, it usually means the plane ends up in a tree or someplace else that is very difficult to access. Not to mention it means throttling the plane to the max and draining the little 2S battery in a hurry.
The SAFE feature, however, is a tremendous asset when flying in the wind - especially when the pilot is just starting out. If the plane could have just a bit more power to take on the wind, a tad more battery to keep flying in challenging conditions, and still keep SAFE, it would be the perfect beginner plane for a wide variety of environments.
