Status: offline 		the strykers flying great, i think its doing around 40mph right now, the "jetscreamer" should push 70-80mph on the 1500mah 3S packs Im using, and I'll keep my 15 minute flights...on a 4S it should approach 100mph, not sure yet though till I see it in action, that motor better be worth the money or I'll be pissed...I saw alot of those BL fans on ebay from overseas, but they all seem to draw alot of power, and I really want to keep my light weight setup for the glider like landing and its ability to recover quickly when it stalls...

Status: offline 		I have a question again. I got my extreme edf setup and it says to set the esc timing to low, do I need to do that with this thunderbird 54 that I have coming in the mail? Anyone have a clue?

Vertical: I hope you get you monies worth and also can reach 100mph. that would be some fast foam!

Status: offline 		well I wont be flying 4S anytime soon so I think 70-80mph will be good enough...the thunderbirds intructions will tell you if you can set the timing or not, and if so it will say how to do it, the silver series I know you cant change it, but my bl-8 you can, never really noticed a big difference in power though from messing with it

Status: offline 		I believe it does since it has a stock li-po, you'll notice the slow down cause it will be hard to keep in the air

Status: offline 		ordered an esc or a diablo, if you got the plane, do the pod on top mod(remember to remove the thrust deflector too...other then that just make sure you let it have speed before turning or climbing..

Status: offline 		Thanks for the info vertical and sparky, my elevator is working fine and i am not throwing it to steep so i checked the center of gravity and it is nose heavy. When i first flew it the cg was fine does that make sense that it is off now and how can i fix it?thanks

Status: offline 		if you havent added anything (glue, tape, etc.) and the battery/electronics havent moved then I dunno how the CG changed, Id measure out the spec in the manual and balance it there, I balanced mine(both wing styles) where the larg carbon joiner tube is in the wing which seemed to work good as a starting point...

Status: offline 		I did it! I got all my stuff in the mail and soldered it all together, and flew with the wicked extreme in the XF edf. All I can say is WOW! at one point I was flying towards me and thought, man that things coming at me quick, but by the time I had thought the word quick it was past me!

Flying time is around 10 to 15 min Im not sure but when I landed the battery was pretty warm, not hot but pretty warm.
The motor and esc were cooler than I thought they would be, considerably so.

I dont know actual speed, no radar gun here, but its nice and quick. Im satisfied for now.

I want to thank you guys that gave your two cents worth, it helped alot.

Status: offline 		good to hear it worked out, I was looking at specs and the wicked extreme said itd spin the XF at 45,000, the "LS" I have should do 46,000 if I get it working, had to order a new ESC so I got the pentium 30amp from dons rc, I guess the "LS" is finicky about the timing, I did get two flights at half throttle and it matched my ammo at full throttle so i cant wait for that new esc to get the stryker back in the air...any pics of you setup animal?

Status: offline 		Let me get my camara and try to download it, I only did once before so it might take a few practice tries to get them on here. I read some specs on the wicked extreme that said it spun the xf fan at 51k. Did I look at it wrong or what?

Status: offline 		woops i had the regular wicked motor page up, not the extreme, your right on the 51,000, draws 30amps it says, on a 4S it would be insane but at 41amps youd need some seriouse stuff backing it up...
