I am really digging this electric thing. Now that I have the LiPo charger I will be doing more electric projects FOR SURE!!!!
I will have to look into the Astro motors. I know they have been around for awhile. I am looking for more power for my FLITTERB.

So Wind, before I hit the sack last night I fished a #64 rubberband through the motor holes and banded the prop on like you have shown me in your pictures. It took a little ingenuity but It seems top be less archaic than the my first banding attempt. My aluminum motor mount is looking real good, I forgot how to post photos (and I'm not home right now) or I would show you my handywork.
Making the tube took some effort but the weight benefit is outstanding.

Kid are you using ASTRO MOTORS right now? how about posting some photos.

I figured the photo thing out, this shot is my first attempt at banding a prop onto the Nippy
