Yeah, Ilearned about that throttle thing about 25 years ago, DUH...What a lame comment to make, IMHO.
I guess my point is for the same price, you could put David's setup in 2 planes. Much better use of resources, and get the expected performance. (unless you have unlimited resources, or employee discounts).
I also like David'sprop selection MUCHbetter for my flying style. Higher thrust, less speed, (the perfect combo) sincethe prop is much more critical (current draw) in electric thanwith IC engines.
One thing Idid notice already, the original Eyelash was made really narrow to help cut grag forthe .049 Cox. The production verson will be 1/4" wider at Firewall and in wing area.
Didn't we have this discussion on the Tipo scaling process, David? LOL

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.
Exactly why I recommended it. The throttle stick is not an on/off switch.
I flew the 6x4 setup with a 2250 3S pack. Had a lazy 12-minute flight, a few rolls and loops, and never went past 50% throttle except about 3 seconds at takeoff.
And still had almost half my battery to go when I landed.
