Electric powered free flight

Ask other modelers for a little help / knowledge ?

IMHO the direct drive motors don't seem to put out enough thrust. I happened to have a old motor gear box unit that came out of the Horizon Hobby Champ. The unit is built really well and can take some punishment. Also even though the model is not trimmed in it seems to have plenty of power.

Here some footage of my EFF https://youtu.be/jKA4cSFP6as

I trimmed the model and than it hit a tree.

I was wondering if there is a certain pattern EFF models should fly.
