So Zoo,
What have we decided? Gonna stick with the DD tail? Gonna try to find a reverse pitch rotor? Gonna fly it just like it is because obviously it works?
The only reason I don't "just try it" is because I don't yet have the pinion removal tool.
I'm tempted to just throw it back together stock and be done with it but if the DD makes a big difference then I'll get the tool and do it.
Well for me, I guess I'll leave mine as is because it works fine. IMO the DD is worth it simply because it's a better motor. Plus I feel I have much better response. The pinion tool is for the main motor, which if I recall, you already have. Didn't you say you bought the enhancement kit? It comes with the 8t pinion motor. You can also buy the 8t motor for about $10 (my lhs had it). That's how I got mine. Even though I have the pinion tool it was easier than trying to find a pinion.
Another one of my buddies just posted he had a hummingbird that he had gone DD with a cdrom motor. He had the same concerns we've been talking about so he found a pusher prop and tried it. He said it made absolutely no difference.
