Andy, that does seem a bit overkill... I'm looking to fly nice pretty patterns withit, not going for aspeed record. No offense to the BPAguys, but speed and pattern have never went together to me. Thrust beats speed any day. A SLOWslow roll is a beauty to behold.

Iwas looking for affordable propulsion to try, not something over 3x the expected cost of the kit. No offense, just not looking for overkill. Iwould guess that most guys are looking for the same thing. ~10-12 minute flights, a couple pattrens worth would be fine, with enough vertical to pull through the loops.

Thanks for the input. That's what I'm looking for..

Started buildingthe fuse, will put up pics later

Don,

I have been using the E-Flite Six Series motors in planes like this, including the Gulfstream design that was just published in the September Flying Models.

My preferred setup is EFLM2000 2000Kv inrunner, APC 6x4E prop (also 6x5.5E and 7x5E), EFLA1040 40A ESC, 3S 2500 25C or 30C Thunder Power pack.

If you want more speed, get the 60A ESC and EFLM2005 motor (2700Kv) but be careful for cell life.
