Bob and Scott,
Are you considering attending the Arizona Electric Festival outside Mesa (Phoenix) January 24-28th, 2007? Should be a great time and fantastic marketing opportunity. Attendance is generally very good; as is the weather with average temps around 70 during the day.
Also, for a twin Purple Peril setup desiring good verticals and acrobatic capabilities as well as speed for a sport warbird aircraft what weight and size would you suggest?
I'm considering 3 or 4 bladed props that the Flying Styro has and cutting them down to a 8x7 or 7.5x7 diameter. Trying to figure out what size to scale this design and could use some motor performance advice.
They are designed as a slow flyer prop and I know someone who used them successfully on a Multiplex BL400 geared 4.4:1.
Would the 4 blader cut down or 3 blader cut down to the suggested sizes overprop the motor?

They are towards the bottom of the page on the HobbyLobby link.
I have one Purple Peril already and was considering adding another to my motors to build this twin but with the LS so light it limits your options without adding noseweight.
I would like to get away with powering it with a pair of TP1320 3S packs.
Thanks!
