Brushless F27 Stryker
I've probably missed a post on this subject so if this subject has already been covered , you have my apologies.Whats a good basic "read economical" brushless setup for F27? Also i've tried a lipo on my stock F27 and found out real quick the CG went to pot.If i go to brushless i would at least consider lipo's so how do you balance this thing?Lastly can i use existing electronics?If this is'nt possible whats a good 480 performance replacement motor? Thanks[&o]

RE: Brushless F27 Stryker
You do what you gotta do to get the CG right... A tail heavy plane won't fly more than once, no matter how light it is. Move the pack forward. Add more packs in parallel. Add lead...
There are quite a few brushless options. Off the top of my head, a Mega 16/15/4, or an Astro 020 direct drive. You might find more information over in the "FOAMIES" forum where I have seen a few rather lengthy discussions on F27 hopups.
Whether it will work with existing equipment depends on the existing equipment. I'm not familiar with the F27, but most of the HobbyZone/ParkZone planes come with integrated receiver/ESC/servo boards. If this one comes with a separate plug-in ESC, it should work okay.
