Default RE: Larger Outrunners

There is an article in this months Quiet Flyer on the Thunder Power unit. I am thinking about getting one in the near future as I add some more batts to the arsenal. I have to get some 2100mah for the Mini Edge.

The HL Extra 330 EP zips along now with the 12x6 SF prop on the 450. Like night and day, what a difference a prop can make. Everything was better and verticle is really good now, the plane zips right out of my hand. I had three guys watching me fly and they couldnt get over the power, I would hover it above their heads and then hit full throttle-climb and then go into a rolling circle, the plane is alot of fun to fly now and I am still getting ten minute flights. I can tell the difference between the new TP 1320 at 13C and the old ones rated at 10C. Plus the new one lasts a bit longer on the power.

I was going to give up on the 450, I am glad I got the watt meter and listened to you guys, the 450 has plenty of power for this 15oz plane I now have a better understanding of my brushless motors and their capabilities. Now I get to start proping the 480 and find out what it can do.
