While I know this is now an old thread, I was searching for info in the Livewire as I am about to do some mods. However, I believe that I should pipe up in the defence of the LiveWire!

I have had mine for 2 or 3 years. The first motor/gearbox lasted only a few flight but I re-motored mine with a Hacker B20 with 1:1 gearbox. What a great plane! Takes off in a few feet. Goes vertical instantly and keeps going up on what feels to be 3/4 throttle. Fliew at almost walking speed with flaperons down. Running on a TP 1320 LiPo.

I have a A20 Hacker outrunner and am wondering if that would be more suitable for my Tangent or the Livewire ie is the A20 outrunner or the B20 gearbox best in the (Wattage) Tangent (aerobatic model) or the 3D Livewire?
