Our forthcoming FPV/AP ship, my younger brother is wringing it out. It's got Flaps, Brushless motors, and landing gear, none of which are stock on the model.
So just how much jam do these motors have? Is it unlimited vertical power or just enough to cruise nicely? Also if I may ask what size lipos are you using and what kind of run times could I expect?
@canonphoto It's got more than enough power, it will climb out with authority although not with unlimited vertical (which you don't want in a plane like this anyway) I'm using 3 cell 5000mah Packs.
To be truthful I hate people who think like you. An electric brushless outrunner runs with a high pitch whine and a whirring sound. The generally ALL sound like that. There's nothing remotely pretty or unique about it. Pretending like a 250-350 watt motor has a sound like a Nissan VQ or a Rolls Royce Merlin (in that it is pleasant to listen to) is a joke. If you don't like the tunes, turn off the audio.

Great vid, nice flying, shame about the "tacky" music. Would have been great to just listen to the Hackers.

Love you too!!
BUT, I do like the sound of the electric motors....
Nothing fake about it, just as I like the smell of a two stroke motor or the whaft of glow fuel from my heli.
No need to be so sensitive, I enjoy the hobby.

Fine, I've got a Medusa 5800Kv 12mm motor, it should just fit in an ear canal if inserted with enough force....
