FT Mini Arrow efficiency build

[sunair6]

WOW!! Totally blown away with some of these Arrow designs and just the forum community in general. I now have another question to ask. I have decided on my second plane, and would like to get a general idea for what to shop around for. I'd really enjoy an Arrow with some zip but also efficiency. I already have an 850mah 3S 35C battery, but I want to know the largest that I can fit in the compartment w/o expanding it. Any Arrow owners out there?

Here's some of the parts I was looking into:
Motor - Turnigy D2826-6 2200kv Outrunner Motor
ESC - would 30A be enough?
Battery - size restrictions? 850mah 3s?

The little "fuselage" is pretty cramped. I have to cram the 800 mah into it. If I built another one, I think I would do the blunt nose mod or look to use the optional wing bays. Hope that helps.

Hello, it is pretty hard to fit said battery into fuselage, however here is a mode for a larger fuselage ( http://www.flitetest.com/articles/ft-mighty-mini-arrow-with-larger-center-pod) You probably already know this, but you will need a programmable Tx/Rx I recommend the DXe with a rip-off receiver, hobbyking and bang-good are both good. (Catch that?!)

I have a 30a esc in one wing, and the 800mah 3s is a tight fit. You may be able to fit your battery if you put the receiver in a wing as well.
