Default RE: RAM 1000 on a Hotspot?

Currently I am flying a hotspot with a RAM 1000 turned down to about 24# of thrust. It is amazing the performance I get out of this motor and plane combination. I can take off in about 150 ft and go ballistic from there. I carry 108 ounces of fuel on mine and fly for 7 minutes with enough fuel for a couple of go arounds and I fly most of my flights at 1/2 to full throttle. If I am just cruising around between 1/4 and 1/2 throttle I can stretch the flight to about 9 or 10 minutes. It is nice to have the extra power for go arounds as well.

Patrick.
