A friend and I are building two seawinds. one gas and one electric

So far the electric, mine ~~~~~

Set up for water only - front wheel well has been sealed permanently - no retracts, etc

I will list what I am doing and if anyone has any suggestions please chime in.

AXI 4120 / 16
CastleC Phoenix 80
2 - 8,000 mah Thunderpower 3c4p running in series for 6s4p
zinger 13x10 3 blade prop
twisted 10g wire from motor down through pylon to the esc in the hull
ESC close to batteries

Trying to decide between the ultimate BEC or a seperate battery pack for servos and receiver. Any suggestions??????

PACKING of the kit was for the birds.
both canopies had to be replaced
formers in the pylon on one model had been broken.

It is amazing to me that they were allowed to be shipped in that condition. The manufacturer, when called, said well ... "i bet you need a new fuselage." Apparently they are having a great deal of problems with packing.

The conversion shown in the video cliup above has an E-Flite 60 powering the Seawind. It is interesting to have an EF60 and the AXI 4120/16 side by side. Spin the motor case on the EFlite and spin the motor case on the AXI. The AXI magnets must be at leat twice the strength of the EFDlite.

I wonder what effect that this has on the perfomance of the motor?
