Pretty slick! Thanks.

Wow.. I just re-read your post.. and you did say 1800 watts!! Okey doke..

Yup... This combo is going into a .60-.90 size plane...

It's a shame people have practically forgotten about gear reduction drives. They are great at helping to keep motors working efficiently and temps and draw lower.

Normally you can spin a larger prop this way, using an electric motor... which is one reason so many of the smaller brushed foamies resort to gearing.
