B.J. is still updating the website with info as he gathers it. I can say that the data he posted pretty much matches my experience so far.

I am running at about 75% power at the top end. I worked into this slowly and made sure my throttle acceleration is not too fast. I am really happy with the power profile on the drive. It has great low end performance and is very smooth and consistent.

The motor does run hot but that is the way it is designed. I do cool it down between flights.

The Falcon 22x22 F/R is really a good combo. Great overall pace. I am not using a hard brake setting. I have my Jeti brake beginning at 20%, brake ending 40%, brake dead time 0.5sec. You do have to be careful with acceleration. If you don’t delay or slow it down it can slip. You just have to set it up and use the power properly.

I did adjust tension a bit, as he noted on his posting. I iriginally thought this drive had no adjustment but you can rotate the motor to add ir decrease tension on the one belt.

Overall, I’m super impressed with the drive so far.
