There's a sign out sheet where I fly, and I look at it while signing out and think huh, it didn't feel like x hours! Blinkguy, that is a cool picture.

2-3 hours can just FLY by!

I'd like to touch up the "hangar rash" on my bird. Anybody know where I can get some matching orange and blue enamel? Or is there a better way?

has anyone tried to econokote this bird yet?

If you mean heat applied coating like monocote...it would melt the foam I think but there is this link:

I would have never thought it but maybe.

So I finally got around to siliconing the wings on.

Is it me or does this simple mod make it fly better? I suppose it makes everything stiffer.

hey guys. anybody with the original Park 480 Brushless Outrunner Motor, 1020Kv mounted on it.???? whats the difference in the performance? thanks

i have the stock one - never used any other. performance relative to what?

ps - am planning to throw on my spit's stock size 15 on it once the 480 finally dies.

This is in the works for mine too. Still waiting on getting around to installing a cf rod in the wing before hand.

Got my fuse to pretty much the way it was though before I crashed, besides paint. I'm slowly making progress.....

The E-Flite 480, 1020Kv "and" with a higher pitched propeller such as the same Park Zone 9.5 X 7.5 Stock Propeller will make the model zoom with zest appeal.

It depends on what you want. I like longer flights as the motor you are inquiring certainly pulls more AMPs and thereby shorter flight times.

I like the Stock Park Zone 480 with the 3-Blade MAS 10 X 7 X 3 as it provides very good performance for what I like to do (Continuous Knife Edges) and still be able to fly 7 - 8 minutes on 2200mAH (3-Cell), 25C discharge Li-POLYs.

I have the Park 480 with MAS 10 X 7 X 3 prop and it goes vertical. I fly it on Zippy 30C 3S-2200's for 8 minutes and come back with 3.74 per cell easily. It's not 3D or anything but nice power, nice speed (not speed demon) and best of both worlds. Love it.
