Thomas,

Congratulations on an impressive build and maiden. Every maiden needs a heart-stopping moment. I look forward to you maturing it and tweaking the settings to just make it even better.

I couldn't find it, but what motor did you end up using? At the beginning of the thread, you stated a 160-200 size, but it had me wondering based on your under-powered comment.

With my Bucc weighing in at 48lb dry/ 60lb wet, and being powered by 2x 100 class motors, around 44lb total thrust (uninstalled), I continue to be impressed as to how much power it has - with it almost being over-powered. Maybe my 2 tapered exhaust pipes are helping, and not having to deal with the losses associated with a Y-pipe.
