Check out the video:

Happy hovering!

How is EPU-9 motor different than stock IPS-A? How much current do 3-cells draw? Do the cells look ok?

Status: offline 		The EPU 9 has a higher gear ratio than the supplied setup but looks the same and has the same mounting arrangement. The EPU 9 has 8.6:1 ratio, which helps draw less amperage with a larger prop.
Check out the specs: http://www.toddsmodels.com/gwsmotordata.htm

Although the 10x4.7 prop and 3 cell Lipoly combination isn't listed, the motor does remain pretty cool during hovering. This is due to the heat sink and throttle management. The 340 Mah Kokams are fine as they are rated at 20C- they don't even seem to get warm.

I haven't done any static amp load test but will do so and report when available.

Status: offline 		Thanks! Yes, I fly "wet" as well. Am currently putting a Hangar 9 Funtana together. I find small electrics very satisfying as I get the chance to fly them more often than gas ones.

Status: offline 		Good job Mike! Crazy flyin in crazy places is what I live for. I've been to Redding lots of times for fun flys and such but I don't recognize the pilot. Would you be interested in comming down to Sacto or Stockton for a all electric (indoor) funfly? We are working on 2 right now. BENDER

Awesome flying! Thanks for posting it.

Your EPU9 is equivalent to a DX-C.
