Dave Lilley, the E-Zone editor, tells me that the product review on the WesTechnik HeliStar LH 35 that I completed recently will be in the March product reviews.

Status: offline 		The kit instructions suggest that you not fly longer than 8 min to conserve motor life. I am getting in excess of 20 min using a 2s pack of the new Kokam 450mah High Output cells from Troy at Bishop Power Products. After a 23 min flight the main motor was at 113 deg F and the tail motor 98 deg F.

Status: offline 		I'm not too familiar with the temps for those motors but those temps dont seem too high.

I'm debating between the little Helistar or a full blown Raptor 50. Both systems have their pluses and minuses and depends on the type of flying. Also, complete Helistar kit w/ mods is almost as expensive a base Raptor kit so I'm caught between the two. Any advice would be helpful.

THanks
