WOW Just tested the motor it does not matter how much pitch this little motor does NOT slow down I think this is a winning combo. It is a 2100 KV and that should be more than enough RPM if you go by the current gear ratio.. Ray

The Sullivan CF is the only one that has limited thermal expansion. I just filled in the big factory slot in the tail with epoxy and fiberglass mat it turned out real nice. I think today time permitting I will work on the Akent LED strobe board.. Ray

Well I am just about ready to tear down and paint. I will be mounting the gyro just opposite of the servo. I will put it right in the center of the main shaft just off to the side. I will of course have to check my CG.

I am really happy with it I will probably wait a week before I reassemble and put on any decals to make sure the paint has reached its hardest cure.. Ray
