Default RE: E-flite Deuces Wild 25e2 ARF

Hi Keith,

It looks like I skipped over this part of the setup in my review so please accept my apologies. When using the E-flite 60-amp Pro Brushless ESCs, you must disconnect one of the two BECs by removing the red center wire on the control line. The one ESC has plenty of BEC current to supply all your servo needs on the Deuces Wild. I marked inside the pod with black marker for "BEC" so I know to connect that one first when setting up the plane for a flight or just testing the control surfaces.

I am looking forward to flying my Deuces Wild this summer.

Go Fast,

When selecting a 3-blade prop, go 1" less than the normal 2-blade prop size so a 12x6 or 12x8 3-blade should work nicely. I have so much power with my Deuces Wild that if ground clearance proves to be an issue in 2009, I plan to test a set of 12x6 2-blade props.

Zinger makes some inexpensive 12x6 pusher and tractor props below.
