First, SR77, I didn't mean to hijack your thread![X(] I get carries away so easily with this hobby sometimes.

Somewhere I have a few Cox gray 5x3s but I put them somewhere for safe keeping; know what I mean? I really want to see what that prop will turn at. This motor is brand new and not broken in yet. Plus, I'm going to assume that electric motors unload in the air, too, so an airborn, boken-in motor should top 16,000; that's only about 300 more rpm. A real test would be to put this setup on a DNU and directly compare its flight performance to one with a Babe Bee.
