RE: AEROBIRD EXTREME MODS!

How have you fitted the motor? I was thinking about putting a brushless in one but can't figure how to mount the motor. Standard 480 replacement brushless way smaller than stock Extreme one?

RE: F-27 Stryker CG

You want it nose heavy, and up to a point, the more the better. Unless it's seriously front loaded - and I'm talking, what, 200g plus - it should fly fine. Tail heavy is the problem.

I'm looking to upgrade my radio gear, but as the F27 is a mixer, are there any special considerations I need to apply. I might be wrong but I'm guessing not all rx and tx can do mixing?

RE: F27B

Yeah, the radio gear handles the conversion fine and a 3S lipo is no prob. I've been running mine for around 30 flights and no issue yet. Did you buy the EZ ESC? That's what I'm using.
