Hi Mike,

Thanks. I did give some initial setup parameters above but i'll repeat them again here:
My initial starting point will be as follows:
[ul][*] Aveox 27/39/1.5 motor[*] Planatary gearbox 4.4:1[*] APC 13x8 prop[*] 16 cells of 1950FAUP NiMH[*] 10,000 RPMs at 42amps[*] 80oz thrust, 57mph pitch speed, 600 watts
[/ul]

My folding prop is really closer to a 13" prop so it should work out ok. The nice thing about these brushless power systems is that you can keep adding cells until you reach a limit on either the ESC or motor. Since I am not even close to pushing either, i'll save that option for after the first flight testing.

I will also be testing some new Kokam 2000mAh (2AH) cells in a 4s4p configuration. The pack will deliver 64amps continuous current and have a total capacity of 8000mAh! [X(]

As for the wheel pants, they are beautiful painted fiberglass pants and deserved a better mounting scheme. I completely ditched the stock mounting parts and used the following items below.
[ul][*] Sullivan Wheel Pant Brackets for 5/32" [*] Du-Bro 2" long x 5/32" dia. Spring Steel Axle Shafts (#248)[*] Du-Bro 5/32" Plated Brass Dura-Collars (#140)
[/ul]

I drilled a hole on both sides of the wheel pant for the axle shaft to go through. This helps maintain the pant even over rough terrain. The Sullivan wheel brackets allow you to tighten them as much as you want for either a super firm hold or just enough hold to move the pant in case it gets bumped on the ground. The bracket can either be mounted by screws onto the pant or by using a little fiberglass mesh and epoxy.
