So basically your telling me I wasted $70 bucks on the Hacker that's supposed to be so great.

Hey now,
I'm saying *I* wasted $70 bux on this motor, it fried on the first flight[&o], The big trouble seems to be that it over heats at anything over about nine amps, and that's pushing it pretty hard.

So what would the Hacker go in.

It'd have to be something pretty light and fairly small. maybe the Tensor? Using the 6.6-1 gear box and a 10-4.7 prop would be as hard as I'd ever want to run it, and that could be too much. Before this I'd never have thought a Himax motor could be better than a Hacker, but in this case...

I have been looking at the new E-flite Yak. Would that be a good match for it?

Way too big. I'd use a Himax 2025-4200 in that one, minimum.

So what is wrong with the Hacker 4900kv? Why would a another moter of the same type, such as the Himax or the E-flite Park motors outperform it by alot. I mean this is literally the worst flying plane I have flown as far as power goes?
