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:D

If your talking about the AXI motor then yea I would think it would fly that plane great..My father just got his but we have edge 540s and he put the same motor we use on them on his ultimate so......and it flys the heck out of it flight time of about 15 minutes flying 3d

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
