Nice catch PJ - you'll like this one.
I haven't flown mine for a while because I need to do a bit of work on it - mainly tweaking the thrust-line. I couldn't help myself and replaced the motor and ESC before the first flight because of reports on RCGroups that it's a little underpowered on the stock setup, even though it does fly nicely.
I put some 2450 mAh 4S Zippy Flightmax batteries in and things were good! However, I want to put another prop on it to look more scale - I've got an FMS Trojan prop which I'm going to cut down and balance. I was getting 5 minutes with plenty to spare, but your mileage will vary of course. Here's a short write-up which I did at the time before I forgot all the details ...

On a side note, I also got the Dynam AT-6 Texan too and was flying it again late today - love it! It's going to be the subject of a kit-bash to convert it to a Wirraway.
