Pretty cool. I saw Kahloq do that with a Hellcat on maiden once. It is important to check aileron direction, especially on a maiden!

I would like to just use one motor up front. Initially, in the rear I just will use a dummy spinner with no prop (so no drag). I have been looking into a single front motor (equivalent in power to a 50cc gas engine - e.g., Hacker A80-8)).

Jeff,

I remember you telling me this before, and I was down with it until Jim provided the link to the Elite’s 160 data. It stated it was equivalent to a 160 glow engine – a 160 glow is a 26cc gas.

Nonetheless, I believe your bird flies somewhat fast,[img][/img] but I need a freakin’ rocket [img][/img]

Hey All,
I taxied the plane for the first time yesturday with the 2 Eflite 160s on 10s per motor swinging Xoar 20-10 props.
Two adults could barely hold the plane....at half throttle.[X(]

The problem for me right now is not power...it's CG. The plane is VERY tail heavy. I moved everything forward as much as I could and still had to add 2.5 pounds of weight...just to get the plane to balance ON THE WHEELS...which I believe is way aft of the CG. Yikes! I'm going to play with the CG tonight and will report back. I'm not surprised...just look at this thing. There is a large mass of airplane to the rear of the CG plus a motor, prop, spinner, and speed control. I set the batteries for the rear motor at the front of the main compartment. The other batts are just behind the front firewall. I have a bad feeling on this one. Reminds me of trying to balance a Japanese Zero.[]...only worse.

Jim
