Default RE: Bobcat .25 tips

OPjose.

I have the 52 sized Bobcat. Same color even. I still have yet to get around to building it. Had it for almost a year now, don't know why I haven't built it yet. Any bad habits or recommendations?

I'm going electric with mine. 1000kv Quannum inrunner, 8 cell 5000 mah lipo, 7.8 x 6 APC pattern prop. 1754 watts. On the bench it pulls 67 amps, the scale reads just over 7 lbs of static thrust. I really need to get a tach to verify this, but according to the performance calcs, that's a prop speed around 25,500 RPM, pitch speed should be somewhere around 145. Sure kicks up one heck of a windstorm with a fair amount of noise.
