RE: cox micro p40
Have built the P-40, F4U, P-51 and finally the P-47. I added ailerons to the P-47 and put in a 180 size motor with a 5x3 prop. It has a 2S 480mA LiPo. It is Extremely fast and very responsive with the ailerons. I used a single aileron servo and flexible pushrod taped to the bottom of the wing (the servo was mounted in a cut out in the center section). The MAN article recommended the Astro Flight geared motor upgrade but the 180 was the same diameter as the original 130 and just a little longer. I would highly recommend it (especially sinse the 180 motor was $9.99 and the astro flight motor was $80!).

RE: cox micro p40
6 volt for a 2s lipo is right.
I have the P-47 and also used the 180 motor from a areobird scout I had. Set up ailerons and elevator (no rudder) with bluebird 306 servos. I use an E-Tec 700 mah 2s lipo. The RX is a blue bird also. The esc is the pixie 20
This little guy is a good balanced flier.

RE: cox micro p40
I just got an electricfly lipo and didn't notice before I got it home it has a charge and a discharge wire coming out of the pack thats 2 leads off the pack? is this something for people who want to cycle there packs if I just leave it hanging loose inside the plane will it hurt anything etc?
