Graupner JU-52 Mini ????
Anyone know about this plane from Hobby Lobby?
What brand motors are used? Can a third motor be installed???
Information appreciated.
Thanks,
Donn

Don,
It flies great but the recommended CG is too far aft. You don't need a third motor. They look like cheap Mabuchi Speed 180s but come pre-installed so I couldn't see them. A 2-cell Kokam 340 pack also fits perfectly as a replacement for the stock (supplied) NiMH pack.

Thanks Greg!
As always you are the man!
Your website is awesome and highly recommended. Your reviews excellent and photos really help. WELL DONE!!!
BTW: what's happened to your Aventura II single motor version. I wish they would be available again. I think a single BL motor with a li-po pack would be a great flyer, much better (and cheaper) than a twin BL set-up.
