RE: EP seawind motor problems...
Coolhunter,
I used the same bp motor, only the 1400kv version, as the first motor on my Seawind. Since I was flying at 6200' I needed the extra RPM. It worked well all winter and spring, but one hot 4th of July day I left a beautiful smoke trail. Believe the 150 watt rating, they mean it. Otherwise, a nice motor. For a bit more power, you might consider the ST. 10 about the same price. Just don't push it to the limit.
