We are very excited that the vision of all-electric powered F3A is becoming a reality with the addition of this new version Q80 motor ! We have been very excited with Hacker's dedication to the F3A / Pattern competiton segment.

To answer a few questions mentioned earlier in this thread:

The Hacker Q80-11S 28 Pole motor has been available since May of this year. It is intended for use with similar size props as the winning C50 Competition setups already in use around the world. Many of these Q80 motors are now in the field here in the US and abroad.

As Hacker's R&D department never rests, this new version Q80 20 Pole motor will be an excellent choice for those looking to replace and outperform the popular glow engines using similar prop sizes. This will retain the airframe "feel" in flight that was realized with the glow engine using the slightly smaller prop sizes at higher RPM, while adding the benefits of an outstanding "Constant Speed" and smooth setup for all manuvers.

For those that prefer the winning heritage of the C50 Competition, that line is still being produced.
