Yes- it's CA safe. I'm a hot glue man myself
What is the KV on the CF2822? I'm sure it's big enough but you may need a bigger prop if it's lower KV than the CF2812.
My setup is bigger than the recommended setup and way heavier.
I use:
HobbyPartz 3010 Rocket Series motor 1700KV with a 7x6 APC clone prop
2200mah battery to balance the big motor
MG90S servos
HobbyKing 25-30 card programmable ESC
Orange 6 receiver
I have another one setup stock with the FC2812 motor and a 1300mah bat- Flies well too. (will still go straight up- just not unlimited)
Build as close as you can to the instructions on the CrashTestHobby site and you will be a happy customer
There are a couple of places I deviate from Lee's build instructions but they are minor...
