Great Planes Yak54 EP
Hey guys I just replaced my reactor 3d with the 41" Yak 54. I crashed the reactor because I put the recommended 950kv rimfire motor in it. It just wasn't enough power to pull out of vertical. So anyway the yak recommends the rimfire 1250kv, so I opted for the rimfire 1450kv with a 45A esp just to make sure it's got the power. Now here's the question. Is this motor going to be too much and rip the firewall off? I did buy the great planes aluminum motor mount for that motor, but I'm uneasy about how to put the 2 degrees of down and right thrust, so do I need to use the motor mount or stick with what the plane comes with? Can I just reinforce the plywood firewall with fiberglass/epoxy to make it strong enough?
I'm only going to use the full power of the motor in hover and 3d mode, I'm not gonna be flying around at wide open throttle.
