Default RE: Who is hovering a cd rom?

I got these plans on the net for free it is 30% smaller than the original set.
Power system
gobrushless.com motor
3x6x2.5 bearings also GB
3mm shaft stolen from a cd rom
23 winds of 26Ga aka newbie wire from GB
star wind
12 of the 5x5x1mm n45 magnets from GB
3mm shaft adaptor from local hobby store
8x4 prop GWS (I had to make the hole wider to fit on the prop adaptor)
Castle creations pheonix 10 (best service department anywhere)
lipo homemade pack 2cells 800mah a guy sells them on ebay for $5 a cell! They really work, and they have regular-solder tabs already attached!
The plane will hover with power to climb out, but not to rocket out. I am not the best pilot so i can't hold a hover very long yet. I dont own a tach, amp meter, or scale so I can only say that it has power to hover and the motor gets pretty warm but not quite hot. A friend of mine has a scale so I will weigh it later.

If you go to the "links" of http://www.gobrushless.com you will find a section called somthing like "1 hour cdrom tutorial." You would have a stroke if you soaked up all the information there about building cdrom motors
