If i were you i'd put the stock arms back on the ailerons. The roll rate was so fast i dialed the throw back to 95% with the stock arms and i usually like my planes to roll very fast.. Longer arms would be fine for the elevator and rudder but i think it is serious overkill on the ailerons.

Yea...I found some that seem to work like a charm. I left the stock arms on the ailerons. ZERO need for more throw there. In fact, I'm running at 80% throws on the stock arms and I'm happy.
I have just now put the HS55 double arms on the elevator and rudder. I had to obviously cut one side completely off. But on the elevator, I had to also trim the side of the arm that I'm using because it would've hit the horizontal stab if I didn't trim it. I'm using the innermost hole on the elevator servo horn and my new hole on the control horn side and I'm easily getting 45-50 degrees! On the rudder I'm using the second hole of the long arm but the standard hole on the horn and my rudder is just shy of touching the elevator... So it's basically maxed out. Can't wait to fly it. Just waiting on my replacement motor! |

Oddly enough I did too. So I must tested it and apparently my red wire is the issue. Probably a bad solder joint but it's definitely on the motor side because it repeats with two different ESC's.

Also maybe good news for the rest of us - maybe these motors aren't duds after all. |

I still believe they aren't great motors. The Park 300 just FEELS like a substantially higher quality motor. But time will tell!

As to the RUD, just running stock horn...plenty of throw there to max the travel right to the elevator in either direction. |

Cheap touch up paint
just paid .80 for each 2 oz bottle at Hobby Lobby. Michael's also carries these and a previous poster noted that walmart had the green. Folkart Lime green 2553 Americana Ultramarine Blue DA225 |

I just got done installing the hacker a10 9l. The motor mount that comes with hacker does fit the edge, only problem is you need to slide the motor shaft over to the other side and that was a pita. The set screws for shaft almost stripped, I had to heat the screws up to get them loose. Then you have to deal with a clip and use a vise as a press to slide the shaft out to the other side of motor. I'll start watt testing tomorrow.

Hmmm... it also seems to be a 2S motor. |

The park 280 doesn't do very well on 2s. I've tested the hacker a10 on 2s with apc 8x3.8 and it pulls 90 watts at 11 amps. My AUW with 450mah 2s is 7.65 ounces. Hacker motors are way under rated, I run 11 amps to mine for around 30 flights now. On 3s with gws 7035 I'm expecting more thrust than stock motor. I think a10 might pull more thrust than stock on a 2s, it won't be as fast though. The hacker has versatility to be run on 2s or 3s.

Just tested the hacker a10 9l on 3s with gws 7035, it pulled 122 watts and 11 amps, it pulled 16 ounces of thrust, that's 2 more ounces thrust than stock with 7035 prop and it still weighs the same. I'm sticking with the hacker! It should be fun at 13 ounces of thrust with AUW at 7.65 ounces on 2s.
