Thanks for the comments. There was a small gain in power and speed but not worth the expense and trouble. The two HM fans drew about 100-110 amps collectively which caused flameouts twice due to battery voltage drop. Minor damage after one flamed out and put it into a beautiful flat spin all the way to the ground. These motors draw too much for any battery that will fit in the fuselage. I re-installed the stock motors. I will save the HM motors for a single engine jet.
Nice flying and perfect landing! Did you notice a big difference with the Hoffmans?
