RE: Which Brushless for Magpie

Little Screamers work great! Use 8 degrees down thrust. Flies straight and level at half throttle. Really climbs good at 3/4 throttle. AUW with 3s LiPo 15.7 oz.

RE: GWS 300 Motors

True.
If you use the same motor and same prop but change gear ratio the current draw will also change. If it goes lower you get less performance. If it goes higher you could burn up the ESC or the...

RE: Perfect Batt for the GWS Slow Stick?

I tried a 400 brushed motor and didn't get must increase in performance. Of course I might have had it geared wrong. 4.1 to 1 I think. I put on a 3 cell 1500 mah LiPo with an AXI 2212/34 brushless...

You are correct. Use 6volt cutoff for 2 cell LiPo. I read Castle Creations is correcting their manuals.

RE: What glue for the Easy Star

You mentioned foam in your other post. I'll assume foam wings. Most CA is not compatible with foam unless it specifically says 'foam safe' on it. Use epoxy, or wood glue like Elmers or Tite Bond.

Your setup is almost the same as mine. I must have used heavy glue or heavy paint. Good Job!

RE: AstroFlight Whatt meter. Where to buy?

Thanks for the reply. I ordered from Astro Flight a few hours ago. I got a confirmation email but it did not have a ship date.
I hope their not going to fill back-orders to suppliers first.

RE: My Dandy Sport AUW is 14.2 oz. Whats yours?

I like the gear mod. My field is rough. I can't get the goats and lamas to do a better job. They do keep the grass short. I'm going to try your mod. Here comes more weight.
