Brushless is the only way I go any more. From what readings I can get with my handheld mini tach, I believe I am getting close to 15,000 rpms. I have flown the plane once and had trouble with the throttle settings causing it to try to over throttle causing over amps and heat shutting down the ESC. I now have that solved and am planning another flight as soon as weather permits.

This is an Aero-naut Aerofly. Discontinued kit that I built for a friend. It's over all weight is 3 pounds 4 ounces with 102 inch wing span. The maiden flight was short but, had plenty of power for the plane and would have climbed easily if I hadn't had the cutout problem. I used new Align brushless s400 size that could handle 25 amps and I used two, three cell Kokam 1500 11.1v Li-Po's in parallel.

Thanks again for everyones input.
