hi there! nice plane, building the same plane with the same setup, a few q:s, do you use expo on the elevators, if so, how much? Im using a dx6i. when you say "put a washer under the rear of the motor" where did you put it? at the top mounting hole or the bottom mounting hole ? thanks in advance=)
i put this motor with 4.7x4.7 with 4s 1800mah and esc 70amp hk and speed was about 250km/h but after two flight about 3min each flight the motor got warm and i bursted... may this set up is only for cold wheather not for greece... so i'm gone pyt 2350 kv...
Did the motor fit onto the stock mount or did you modify it??? I see you have written "motor mount 2° up" and have check hobby king for that part and could not find anything. Can you please explain how you mounted the motor.
@blaken88 motor fits into the stock mount, just have to remove a little metal ( 2 millimeters max ) on the longest part to allow the motor to have a little space. Just put a washer under the the rear of the motor mount before you screw it securely to give a little up thrust.
@sureggem1 Thanks for the info :) However i will be running the same motor but a 3s 2.2 lipo and the same prop size as you so do you think a 40 amp esc would be ok? Thanks.
the HC's page is reffering that the motor is 700W. I'll hope not to burn it. I'm going to use the same setup. Thanks for the video was very useful :-)

Awesome vid, im currently building a foam board F117 and have this motor, can you advise me on what prop size and ESC amapge to use? Many thanks.

@MarneusAugustaCalgar Motor can turn a 4,5 x 4,5 prop (or 4,75 x 4,25) and 4 cells (2650 Mah). No bigger prop or will destroy the motor.
Turnigy 80 A ESC with built-in ubec is great.
Good flights !
