Default RE: Building a DraganFlyer - need to mix speedcontrollers - HELP

hmm, thought I posted my message...guess I lost it or did something wrong...let's hope this one works.

A few questions:
1.) How are you guys keeping the prop from coming off the shaft with the motor reversed? 3mm Nylock nut?
2.) Is it really that difficult to fly without the gyros for aileron/elevator? I fly a conventional heli and the only gyro is for the tail rotor. I was planning on doing the same thing. (my rudder will be controlled via tilt rotor....motors attached to servos...has anyone done this?)
3.) What kind of motors does the real dragan flyer use?
4.) What is the power/weight ratio of the real dragan flyer? (I'm an Aero engineering student @ purdue, I'm designing my own :-D )
5.) Is there a site with all this technical info about the dragan flyer?

thanks
