I've decided to get a 3D foamy plank for some back yard fun - I'll be getting one of the Ikarus profilers - a Yak, or Edge or F3A.
But, I'm stuck for the best options for a good motor (money is not an issue, I don't mind paying out for good kit)
So far I've narrowed it to
1)Extreme Flight 'Torque' 34T/1520 - 29g
2) Axi 2204/34 - 26g
3)Axi 2208/34 - 45g powerful, but heaviest
4) Hacker A10-9L - 20g
I do want to keep the weight down if poss, I do want full on vertical climbs even toward the end of the pack
I plan to use a small 2S or 3S pack and it will be for outdoor use (so I can allow a little extra weight in practice)
Any views or alternative motor ideas will be most welcome - what I need to avoid is a model thats light weight but gutless and won't go vertical - or a rocket that is so heavy it won't be capable of the agility needed for 3D................
Thanks.....Rick
