Well it is either genius or stupidity but it is fun no matter what!

After mods with a friend we stayed on FW 2500kv 6S (2949 motor I think) paired with an Vgood 8S 120A(-150A) running 7S 1800-2200 HRB. Speeds up to 144 mph or around 230 km/h (without landing gear). Still not too heavy :) For enhancing the nose I drop some epoxy inside the fuselage around the plastic tube were the nose strut is. So the foam is holding better. It bends anyway but the foam doesn´t looses rigidity. Nice video and flight!

Excellent glad you are now doing Upgrades/modifying videos 👍🏾
I found the best mod for the 64mm was to keep the stock 4s 3150kv and upgrade to an 80A (i like to use Avian for telemetry/rev thrust or use a Freewing 80 for rev thrust) and run it on 5s lipos. No need to cut the foam to fit the 6s edf and the 5s lipos are lighter. I got 110mph on a 2200 70c 5s CNHL. You'll end up using them in all your 64s. The Rafale 64 becomes an absolute best 64mm with the extra 35% thrust.

Thank you very much for your video! I have also tried it with a 6s 3000mah battery and in the end I like flying this jet better with 4s 2200mah with 70c discharge, it is lighter and more balanced. In addition, it already has a good enough power by upgrading the charger to 70amp, greetings!

Do you have a stock speed stats for comparison? I can tell from the 6 cell performance thats the way to go. Too bad it's not offered as an option. Thanks for the videos, keep 'em coming...
