RE: e-flight 1360 outrunner what prop
I was going to put the 1360 out runner on my Tensor but it draws a lot of amps with a 3cell battery with the 10x4.7. I checked it on the watt meter and it pulled 18 amps at full throttle. Then I tried the 1360 with a GWS 8x6 and it pulled 15 amps. I guess you must use a 2 cell with it. Which 2 cell do you guys like?

Is that you Eric? The Ion man?
For 2S packs in the Tensor, its hard to beat the Thunder Power 730s. Barely 1 ounce and lots of power. I also fly 3S 730 packs with the 1080kv motor and 10x4.7 prop - BALLISTIC power while keeping the pack weight down (around 1.5oz for the 3S 730s).
That said, the 2 most popular set ups tend to be:
EFLM1205 - Park 370 Outrunner 1360kv
APC 10x3.8 prop
2 cell 730-860 mAh packs
Or...
EFLM1200 - Park 370 Outrunner 1080kv
E-flite or APC 10x4.7
3 cell 730-860 mAh packs
The 3 cell set up has a definite edge on vertical performance, but 1/2-3/4 ounce more weight due to the added cell. For tight indoor spaces, the 2S set ups are great. For larger indoor and outdoor flying, 3S is certainly prefferred.
Good luck guys,

I definately agree.....the thunder 730s are the way to go........best there is power to weight.....very high dicharge......but I did notice a bit more punch with the 860(not enough to compensate for the weight difference.

Yes, a 3 cell battery is not recommended for the 1360 brushless motor. You'll draw too many amps. Use a 2 cell 1320 with the 10x4.7 propeller and you won't cause damaged to your equipment.
