Default RE: E-Starter prop and power question

Pox, I have a new E-Starter and I would say a 2s lipo would be OK, 3s would be too much, just make sure your ESC is lipo compatible and you have a cut out to prevent too low voltage drop on batt. I wouldn't think you will have to worry about going through all the settings if you went with 2s lipo, it's like using 7.4 V. I.m using 8.4 nimh and it's fine. I would NOT go to 11.1 V or you'll cook the motor. If your right there why not go ahead and go brushless, you can get a good motor for another $ 30.00 from Balsapr then you would be set. Either of the props that come with should be good, I flew mine with the smaller one and it can pull tight loops from level flight, I'm gonna try the larger prop next. I'm also most likely going to go brushless on mine
Your going to like this plane, it fly's great, very stable and forgiving.
Pox why don't you come on over to the backyard/parkflyers and join us on the Shun Da Cub thread
Good luck
