Default Foam Ultimate engine

Hey I'm getting a foam Ultimate Biplane like the one, I think E-Flight has. Would the engine you get at the shockflyer web site work well for good 3D performance? If not, any suggestions

easiest install and most pwer will com from one of the eflight 370 brushless motors in the stock geardrive. either the 4100 or 5400 works well, just use a smaller prop than 12x6 on the 5400. 10x4.7 works great for the 5400.

rich, what is it with the 5400 that has to use the smaller prop to keep it from getting hot...seems like the larger motor would swing bigger prop, like in gas...but from what I've heard the larger kv motor needs smaller prop to keep it from overheating...I dont' get it

I forgot to check the emial notify....pm or email if you want

later
