Default Brushless F-27 Stryker

Just put an ALIGN 2500KV brushless motor on a 2 cell lipoly in my Stryker. The thing screams - easily 80+ MPH climbing! I reinforced the wing bottoms with some clear tape and have had no problem pulling extremely high G manuevers. I'm currently running a 6 X 5 prop but have run a 7 X 5 as well at 19 amp and 25 amp pulls repsectively.

This is an outstanding airplane when you give the thing the right power package.

By the way, I was quite successful for awhile flying the Stryker as is "out of the box" on 14.8 volts using 2 1500 2 cell lipolys in series and a 6 x 4 prop. Not nearly as quick (or efficient) as my current brushless but much better than on 7 nimh cells! Eventually burned out the motor after 20 or so flights as well as the stock speed control.

Now I need to find a way to hook up the combat module to my receiver and brushless controller.
