Anyone out there found any problems with the GWS A10 on the EDF 55 fans. 
I've had to cut a new battery hatch pushing the cells up to the nose, alternative was to add weight. 
Anyway I'm hoping I wont have a cool RC Car!

Hi Ger,
Just flown my '55. Initially needed all the weight given to balance, but I also needed lots of up elevator to maintain level flight. Second flight, I removed half the weight, better but still needed up trim. I have now taken all the weight out, but put my RX in the nose. Not tried that yet as it is too cold, and the epoxy has still not set (gluing the nose back on)
I do have a little trouble with glitches, though. Might be because I had the RX near the ESC (2"  , hence the need to glue the nose back on and move the RX into that section.
The performance was, slight to say the least. Just managed about 20', but rolls were possible with a little run up. Hope the weight saved will improve things.

I think 8 cells is too much for these motors, as I can see lots of sparks from the endbell of the motor at full throttle. 7 cells will make the motors last longer for sure . But I just fly at reduced throttle at the moment.
