That's not all! The wind started kicking up around noon but I took out the EZ Hawk. I had discarded the stock Dynam lipo because it got puffy and found it hot at the end of a flight. I replaced it with a Zippy 800mah 20c 'high power" battery. I also changed the prop, going to a smaller Park Zone gray nylon pusher, same as the one I've been using on the Hawk Sky. Good results with this combination! Endurance didn't suffer, as I got about 10 minutes of flight and maybe could have gone longer but I didn't want to overdischarge this battery. I had no problem with altitude or speed or ability to penetrate wind. I've ordered a 1100mah lipo, 20c for this plane.
The easiest and most economical modification for these Dynam powered gliders is to replace the stock prop, and I find that the gray nylon Park Zone pusher props are a very good substitute-- easy to install, and performance improves markedly. A lot of bang for your buck. You should also go to a battery with a higher discharge rating.
This morning I flew the Firebird Stratos, the one I got at a bargain price on eBay.
