I just tried out a new setup on mine:

3s 1200
10x7E
Hang-it 2217/08

Watt meter shows pulling 21-23 amps static load @ 250w. I got 8 minutes on that pack yesterday flying the crap out of it.

I did have to tape over the joints to control the surface flutter but it really does haul the mail now. I also removed the landing gear via a very specialized maneuver involving the runway, some grass, and a delicate landing. (okay, so i pankaked it and ran it into the grass...)

I noticed immediately that i'm happier with its in air performance, so i'm going to start looking for a lightweight set of landing gear (like they carry at 3d hobby shop)

Anyways, just thought i'd let you know.

for the motor, its about 30.00 from eastrc.org
