No failures to date with Hacker 2- A20-26 and 1 30 size, with Castle Creations Phoenix SC's. My last purchase was a Hacker A30-12L and CC control. I ordered the Castle link also for programing the SC on the computer and I say THAT is a super product.
My foamies weigh 12 to 16 oz (Charger RC) and the prop I use is 10x 4.7 slowflight with the Hacker A20-26. Also I think any battery less than 1100mah is not sufficient for these motors. Lesser mah batteries will die from over use too soon. About a year and a half of flying so far and I fly them a lot. My two 1320 TP's are doing good but the 850 died months ago.
Good to hear about your Hacker experience. I have in hands some 1320 batteries, but I don't believe this would be a good choice to Divo. Divo seems to be a heavy foamy and a battery this size can harm the plane. But if a small battery won't be enough to Hacker, maybe it's better to save this mottor to a light plane and go for my old AXI 2212/34. What you think?

I have a divo with a park-300 that will hover at half power and still punch out through the top.I am using e-flites set up in the book.I have wondered about a 370 but the weight worries me and it might be hard on tp-3 cell 730 packs that i have.Want a sobre but they are out of stock.
My dream is some day assembly an E-flite foamy with the setup mentioned in manual. It seems to be very good to fly an airplane light like this, but, in my case, I can't try. I don't have any place to indoor flights and the wind is present almost every day in my land. So, I need something a little heay.
I have a Sobre that I retired this weekend. It was the best foamy I ever flew.
I have some moveis of it. I took this movies in the end of my Sobre's life, so they are about crashes and funny stufs, but you can see anyway it's a good plane!!!
