Default Black Magic with Inrunner?

Hey Guys,

I was wondering is anyone has setup a Black Magic using a Hacker or Neu inrunner motor? I have been running mine using an AXI for years with great results, but it is a heavy motor. As I have been having to repair my landing gear lately, weight is becoming a bit of an issue. So, i have thought about the possibility of trying an inrunner to save a bunch of weight.

Mike Hester was alway concerned about the amount of torque generated from the inrunners and how that might negatively affect the fiberglass cowl glued on the front of the plane. So, my question is, has anyone nose mounted an inrunner in the nose of a Black Magic or is there a way to mount an inrunner from the firewall?

Thanks,
Emory
