For the difference in price, I usually decide to just get the combo, but I have replaced individual motors, and it's not hard at all.

Some have reported problems with their GB's cracking. I have just bought motors, and been pretty lucky. Only one or two GB's have cracked on me. Might as well get both I guess. Lee

Today got my Champ out after couple months inside the box.Was flying indoors and noticed the motor was going up and down in power/rpm's.Rebinded the plane again plus changed the battery and still the same.Any ideas?Plane have low hrs and almost accident free.Hope is not the brick!!!....any suggestions and help??..thanks

Throw a P-51 Micro Mustang motor in it; and put a GWS 5030 prop on.

I liked MA batts and a mustang motor and a 5043 prop. Just me. Lee

Go with the Hyperion 240 1S Lipo, from RCBabble. Up to 24 mnutes in indoor flying conditions, an easy 14 minutes outdoors. Use a foam "blanket" in cold weather. I use the Hyperion 240 on several planes, to include the UM P-51, UM T-28, UM J-3 Cub, and of course the HZ UM Champ. You made a good choice with this plane. Enjoy!!

how i plan on mounting my key chain camera it might have been done like this be for not sure hey lets hear feed back if you have done it like this and how did it turn out...

Well went out early to beat the wind but no luck on that lol took a chance and flew the champ anyway and what a great feeling to fly a RC plane again...
Gave the camera a shot and this is the video sorry I'm a little rusty and it was pretty windy so the video is short and not very smoth...

On a side note this was shot with the older version of the key cam think it was a 11 but never the less i ordered the new 808 #16 last night looking forward to its arrival

And you say this can work for the Champ and the Mustang? Huh, gotta look into this. How heavy is this, would it slow either plane down, and cause the Mustang to loose its aerobatic capabilities? hope not....

Flying is such a good feeling!
Glad your enjoying yourself with the Champ.
With some practice the Champ is a blast in a bit of wind.

Your camera looks like a #3 due to how the time stamp looks.

The #16 is a good cam for the price.
The picture is a lot more clear than the old #3.
And being able to have a light to let you know the cam is recording is nice.
Also being able to adjust in camera screen resolution has been a plus.
Got an old pc,won't play HD video...just set the in cam screen res to 848x840...still widescreen but in SD not HD...so it will play on an older slower pc.

Great little camera...like the Champ...great little plane

Enjoy your Champ!!

You can fly a champ fine with that 240 hyp batt. But, on a stang, I would go with a 160 or a MA 190. Lee

Yup,MA's will be the next batteries i get for the brushless Champ.
Either that or a 500 mah Turnigy nanotech...those nanotech batteries i have been using in the super cub have been really good!

Won't be Hyperions though!

It could be a 3 as it is over a year old but it also has that micro s/d card???
Anyway I did order the new 16 last night On ebay so hope to have that one soon
