increased by more than half.
I saw this idea on youtube where a guy (Dave I think it was) took solder and wrapped it around the tail motor for a heatsink, well I took .050 solder tacked one end then wrapped around 2 times tackhed it, then 2 more turns then tack
the end then took the existing sink stretched it out alittle to snap it on. works great tail doesn't get as hot as it used to.

Get the aluminum heat sink from Horizon-it's light and cheap.Lead solder retains heat-bad Idea
