Default RE: Sebart's new pattern ship MYTHOS

Based on the 3" fire-wall to cowling distance the prop face of a hacker A60-5S would protrude 6.8mm or 1/4"- it's also 100g heavier & then you have batteries that are heavier too (than the as designed 6S pack) so that could be a problem too.

As an owner of several Sebart planes the biggest issue I have is how much they cost in the US. They are typicaly 40% more expensive than they are in Europe. Note the European price list includes VAT (Sales Tax) which ranges from 19 to 21% depending on country.
Based on Euro prices the Mythos should be $600 in the US ! - Oh & the Wind 2M should be $1500 !

Compare this to, for example, the EF Vanquish 2M - now that is about 10% cheaper in the US than Europe - and the belief is they are made in the same factory in China !
