Hi not so much a build blog more of an assembly blog. A Trinity Hacker 1/18 scale 700 mm long, did away with supplied speed 600 motor, fitted a small brushless one, a surpass c2216 800kv motor. Try 7.4v first if she needs more 11.1v should make her fly. much lighter reduced weight from 1200g to 1000g should help performance.
