Hi,
got a mini super sportster ep a few months ago, and outfitted it with a ultrafly brushless 29kv geared 3.89:1, with a 10x7 APC prop, and NIMH 2/3A 1100mah 8 cell pack. I designed the drive system using motocalc, and it flew beautifully! The plane is a really nice flyer. I plan to upgrad to LI-POL soon enough, but kept things cheap with the nimh 2/3A if anyone is putting this plane together i would highly suggest this drive system. Running specs below with listed drive system
all up weight: 24 oz
full throttle thrust on ground stalled: 22 oz
current draw on ground stalled: 11 amps
run time at WOT : 8+ minutes

I got the batteries from

great batteries and incridibly cheap prices, especially if bought loose. I got enough NIMH 2/3A cells for $25 to solder up 3 8 cell packs.
Anyone else enjoying this plane?

Sounds like a great setup. Any pictures of the motor installation?

I'll try to get pics on soon, I kind of rigged a semi-rigid motor mount using half a clamshell mount, the stick mount that comes with the ultrafly motor and gearbox, and a few rubber bands. The mount is good and solid, but will give if it hit the prop on the ground on a landing or something. has already proved itself useful once.....

How well does this plane fly out of the box with no upgrades?

Thanks,

Patrick

I'm building mine now and have a question
instructions says to mount pushrod connector 6mm off center on elevator servo arm.
I have HS-55 servos and it doe not seem possible to do at 6mm, it will be rubbing against the servo case.
should I just put it at 8mm?

manual is here http://www.electrifly.com/manuals/gpma1156-manual.pdf
