We have been selling a lot of CDR's latley and have recently updated our design to use Carbon Fiber tube instead of brass thus saving 4 grams of weight.

The overall weight is now 18 Grams. The base motor has 20 turns of 26G in Wye config and will generate 10+ oz of thrust with a 9x5 HD prop and 2S lipo. Custom winds and configurations can be made, please contact me at jeff@westport-design.com

Our channel pathers www.m-a-e.com and www.littlebirdz.com have them in stock and our site www.westport-design.com will be updated in a few days to reflect the updates to our motor design and new accessories.

Videos of several different airframes are available on ours and our partners sites. These are perfect for small 3D planes and are finding their way into the new area of RC combat.

Here is a link to a video of our up comming Jinx prototype maiden flight using 2 of these motors with counterrotating props and dual PH 10 ESC's on a 2S KOKAM 1500 HC cell.. Jinx will be a balsa plane, but FFF was used for the prototype.

This mass of motors is going to Toledo Look for Randy in the MAE booth

Video is great but takes a looooooong time to load. How about doing a set of plans for the fanfold version.

There is a tepmlate on the build thread in Park Flyers. "Jinx the evil twin" Not full plans, but the FFF outlines. Build thread should fill in the blanks.

Nice flying and nice motors. These should be great for any sub 10oz parkie. I'd put one of these motors on my Pico Moth if it were still around.

Jinx is a 10 OZ plane and each motor kicks out 10+ OZ of thrust.
