I think I want to follow you. Maybe I should search out an Extra 260 the 370 hollow shaft motor the showstopper and that Phoenix 25 by castle creation that you said has a governor in it. It sounds like this works. I guess the BL 12 ESC by great planes would also be good as it has a governor. So I think I'll be a copy cat and do as you did.
I'm using a DX7 Spektrum radio that I would have to set up for this and get an extra 6100 receiver. I'm not a great flyer but think this will be interesting to try. Send any info you can my email is [email protected] if you want to email.
Here is a plane that was suggested to me but not in the USA.
