        yes definitely added some up elevator not sure the exact degrees. no BEC on this plane, and I was going to swap motors but usually the stuff i get from banana hobby isn't glued all that well,
        and the glue is usually CA so its easily removed if you need to remove something, But they definitely used much stronger glue for the SR-71 because the motors are glued in solid, and because the foam isn't the strongest, I didnt want to try and pry them up without to much foam damage, So I will not be swapping motors at this time, but i will still try to use a bigger battery to get more flight time.
        Again, peformancewise, it does fine for me,plenty of power for takeoff, and I like to fly scale so the most i might try with this plane is a roll, hahaha,

          That's okay, the most anyone should probably try is a roll, LOL!

            repairs from bad landing, totally my fault, flared to much and then stalled, broke fuselage at the joint, which actually was lucky, no other damage.

              If I had a dollar for every time that happened to me I could have bought another KIT!
