Oh my, with those motors and that weight Jack it ought to go like a rocket!!! What are you going to use for a battery? I think you will probably need to put maybe two 3S-2200s in parallel to supply enough current especially if you let me test fly it :twisted:

10*6 Props installed now, also had to calibrate the ESC range, on the throttle, so they would arm, and run together. :)
Nice... 8-)

I'm really surprised that 8x6 wasn't good enough with those motors Jack.

Yea, they were probably fine Rick, it was the ESC timing that was the problem. 8-)
I'll leave the 10*6 on for now, lotsa lift.
