Status: offline 		OK EGuys. Will the GWS Hog's motors handle an 8 cell nimh pack?

Second question. What are they talking about on pg. 11? inlet rings and sanding the nacelles? I don't have one....YET! but a friend is asking me to post for him.

(From one extreme to the other!)

I have made several other posts about my experiences with my A10 - including mods I have made. I tried to increase my 7 cell, 720 NiMh to 8 cells and fried one of my motors. I have spoken to others who are using 8 cells, and even 10 cells and are not having problems. I decided to go back to 7 cells and it works fine.

One other mod - change the stock 3 blade impeller to the 5-blade - the plane flies with more authority. I have thought of making other mods to get it to fly faster but have realized that the plane was designed as a "park flyer" and is not really sturdy enough to warrant much more speed without adding much weight. The plane is a blast to fly with these mods and really turns heads.

Status: offline 		Thanks.....We have changed to the 5 blade fans and the current does go up! However, it does fly better . Next I will try lipo's......2200 and 4400 7.2 V.
