tam popo - Answers to your questions: This is a CC Lee Me 262. It looks different because i airbrushed my own camoflage over the top of the stock green colours. I have not changed the intakes in any way. As it says at the start of the video, it still uses the stock cc lee brushed 180 motors and stock 4 bladed fans. No i havent written any articles for magazines reviewing the model.
I bought this model second hand about a year ago. The previous owner ripped out the stock radio gear and put in a 35mhz receiver and lipo compatible speed controller, which gives it proportional throttle instead of just on or off. I put in my own 1350mah lipo, which gives me just under 10 mins flying time. I have had 20 flights on this set up, and have once burned out the starboard motor, due to the fan spining off the motor shaft at high speed and over reving, causing the plane to enter a shallow spin, before cutting the throttle and gliding her in. It flies great although nowhere near brushless performance. I have read that other people have put in GWS fans and 300 motors in their 262s, and i may well do the same before i push my luck too far!
You can see some more pictures of it here:

Hope this answers your questions- glad you enjoyed the video.

Sniperman - I can see now why it flies! The brushless set-up seems a good idea with the price of b/less coming down all the time, combined with the lipo - Nice Anyway, thanks for that and has anyone told you that you are a Craig Charles look-a-like!!! The wifey spotted that, she's a Corrie fan - sad[] Bye for now, flying tomorrow if this Scottish weather improves, fat chance. Byee......
