Hi All,

This weekend I flew my Plett 30/10 with 21x12WE prop and Tanic 5S2P 4960 packs and C.C. 110 controller. I flew this on my originally glow powered Aggressor. In making the conversion, I preserved my option to return to glow (I did not rip-out the pipe tunnel or anything drastic). So, the weight of the plane ready to fly electric was 11 lb 15 oz. Very heavy - again, I did not want to drastically alter this airframe to reduce weight. That said, the Plett 30/10 with 21x12WE turning 5800-5900 rpms on the ground, performed VERY well. Even with the near 12 lb airframe, the combination produced power just less than the OS 140 with 2 blade (18x10 prop). For the forth flight, I flew just one sequence then landed, intentionally using full power most of the flight. Upon recharge I had used 3900 mah. Pack temperatures were 116 F, controller 105 F, and motor (pointed at the Plett sticker), was 155-160 F.

If I were to continue flying this specific airframe E, I would institute more cooling features for the motor and completely remove the glow features to reduce weight. This was a GREAT experiment and FUN to see. The peformance on this worse-case setup proved to me that it should be GREAT on a lighter airframe and potentially with a differnet prop. My next plane is in the works for this motor!!!!!!!!!!! As for this particular airframe, I will compete the final contest with the OS140 setup. As for a comparison between this as the Hacker setup I've flown on my Impact, the Hacker seemed to have better downline breaking - however - the impact was 18 oz lighter (maybe gravity was just lovin the heavy plane . The Hacker did have more power, but again, 1 lb lighter airframe. After the upline snap, the Aggressor still had great upline speed and motored over the top nicely with the Plett - very similar both the Hacker, and OS 140. Should be great at a much reduced weight.

Thanks for all the posts.
