An update.

The mechanics are being put into a 700 size MD500. Question, are the Align 600 and 700 tail booms the same diameter?
I have another 600 (6s) for the Long ranger.

I bought a YGE 160 HV for the MD500.(price I couldn't pass up) I know it's overkill for this model, but I doubt there'll be a problem w/the operation. Am I on point w/that assumption?

I've been looking for a different gearing solution and smaller kv motor w/no luck. My motor is 510kv. What's the possibility of satisfactorily operating the YGE at a governed % that would get the head speed down to the 1600 rpm or lower range? Keep in mind I'm planning a 5-blade head on this model.
