Default Diamond dust motor mounting 1/4" higher than spec.

Dave, I have not yet flown the damn thing. I have been so busy locking up bad guys that I have not finished putting the tank and little odds and ends together. I'm close though!!

I hope by Sunday evening I will have a big smile. Or a big pile of balsa !! My last dust was pushed by a tired OS 46SF ( 11x6 prop)with a mac tuned pipe. I was just shy of 14k on the rpms and was on radar at 127 mph. I am now at a minimum of 18k and a 9x9 prop. I am told that it should be super sonic. And if I drop to an 8x9 she will be screaming !!! I cant wait to test fly it.

I have many people tell me that the 1/4 " is going to be no big deal. I hope so !! When you look at it, you hardly notice the motor up.

What motor were you running when the Dust was alive ??
