ORIGINAL: cacti

Thanks for all your great ideas!

Charley,

Did you add the down thrust angle to neutralize nose down trim the model required after your mod? How about CG, any difficulties? What battery setup are you using? What prop? I have ordered a Watt's Up meter to use in conjunction with MotoCalc to help narrow down prop sizes, but with helpful posts like yours and opjose's, who needs it?
Yes, the model climbed under full power, not much but I wanted it neutral. When I put in the mount I tried to align it so that the original thrust angles were duplicated. You need to look at the "Super Sportster EP with Upgraded Power System" thread. All your answers are in there. the Hyperion 3013-14 I used is overkill. A 3007 would be adequate. My setup is a real hot rod.
