The WIFE THING:
My wife says I can buy any hobby stuff I want - but I must give her an equal amount in CASH for anything she wants. Yep, all my hobby stuff costs DOUBLE!!! I find myself making aggressive and risky stock trades to try to come up with extra cash...[sm=72_72.gif]
Man that has got to suck...
Naw its cool. She does spend some of it on stuff the whole family can enjoy, so what the hey. And, it keeps her happy and there can be no hobbies if the wife is not happy.... [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

Markind, here's a link to the "seperates" conversion I did you may find it useful.
Heliko! My brother I have never addressed you directly, but here is a big THANKS for that 'Going Separates' write up!
I mulled it over a lot before placing my orders. Soon, we will be brothers in the world of the Brushless Axe.
I went with 'Ray-K-47's' final approach on his FrankenAxe. He did a lot of flight testing and really seemed to nail down the headspeed, heat, and flight time curves. Also, his Brushless Direct Drive Tail (BLDD) mod is lookin' might fine. [sm=greedy.gif]
Here then, is what's on the way:
Park 370 BL motor 4100KV (with 10-tooth pinion that should be excellent, based on calculation, and flight testing) $48 eBay, delivered.
e-Flite 20A ESC V2, $43 eBay, delivered. Should run cool and the new technology is supposed to provide the motor with more accurate timing, which should reduce heat loss and thus improve flight times.
Ammo 3880 BL motor for the tail - $27 Tower.
CC 9A ESC - should run cool, $24 Tower
More when the parts come in. Now step away from the PC, and GO FLY! [sm=lol.gif]
