They recommend from a 4x4 to a 6x4 prop. You said I should drop both in diameter and pitch, so get a few 4x4s? Here's a video of a guy who mounted that wellgard. [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7jxgDZvWPk]Hawk with Combo[/link]

Sure, remember though that because your existing inrunner matches the KV rating of this new motor, all you need to do is merely put in that smaller prop, and you'll get the SAME result as with the Wellgard.

If I am to re-mount the inrunner, how would you recommend I go about doing it?
Well... the problem is that the mount was designed to grab the "can" from a brushed motor.

I would be looking at a making, buying or designing a retention system for the inrunner, and then opening up the front of the foam "pod" so that air can travel accross the motor when the plane is in flight from front to back.

At this point I start looking through BPHobbies, Tower Hobbies, or Hobbie-Lobby catalogs to see what might be adapted. The latter being the most expensive, but having a great selection of unsual mounts and parts.

Also, in the time being can I put the fan from the f-35 on it? [&:] I know, I'm impatient and I tend to do things half-assed. Apologies in advance!
Nooooo don't do that!

That EDF fan is designed for well an EDF, and will produce even worst performance than what you are getting now with the inrunner motor and the default prop!
