Hmmm maybe i will try out the J3 motor....anyone know how to remove the pinion and then put in the MCPX tail rotor?

Take clippers and break it off. It is soft brass so you can cut right through it. Cut parallel to the shaft.

Oh okay thanks...easy enough.

Dynamicfoamy- what would you say are the flight characteristics of this plane?

Stable, easy to fly and slow with a relatively tight turn radius.

Dynamicfoamy, Im probably going to be getting this plane over the weekend, so do you know if the ember 2 motor will work? I have one from my unflyable ember and would like to put the electronics to use.

if you are doing absolutely nothing with the motor, then give it a try since you already have it.

I wonder how, besides weight of course, a 8.5mm motor would do vs a 6mm?

With ~5.5g instead of ~5.5g, you probably wouldn't be able to balance it, unless you use a much bigger battery. A 1.7ohm 7mm would be a much more viable option.

yeah guess i will do that.

The 1.7s are too hot for DD use, unless with a ducted fan or small too small a prop. A red 7mm with a GWS2510 will put out 12g thrust at .7A.

Just spin the same prop as before. Bigger motor doesn't mean you must use a bigger prop.

This DF 380 Looks good so when funds are there I may get one, what's the shipping cost to the UK?

Could QR ladybird motors and props be used?
