$20.00 wasn't the issue; I wanted a lower Kv motor that suited the Spitfire and would "BOLT RIGHT ON". Already had the power 15 motor so it was a no-brainer. Will fly on 3s or 4s. Flew it again...

The e-flite power 15 screwed right on to the existing motor mount, and the stock shaft adapter worked fine except I needed one thick washer so that I could mount a nice large white nose to make it...

I did not have to enlarge the opening for the 4-cell at all. Slips in TIGHT so it is a small chore to slide it back out. Works for me, and if I want, after testing, I can slide my usual 2600 ma 3...

Thanks; I know what you mean as I have been fighting the electronics issue with my "test" Stryker. It is difficult to match up the amps/watts by just changing props. At some point I just lose too...

I uploaded an attachment; we shall see what happens.

Picked one item 10X10 prop to see if it comes close to what I actually read on the test which was 30.46Amps/310 watts. Curiously, an 11X10...

I would be difficult for me to use the 12 inch prop due to clearance when the plane lifts it's tail on take off. Local hobby shop has no 3 bladed props in stock, but there is always "on-line". I...

Got the time to drill out another prop, a 10X10E, and try it out on the Spitfire. Reading were 30.5 amps / 310 watts. Getting closer, maybe even close enough. Might try an 11X10 to see what...

I was trying the "Motor" drop-down list; now I see what the little 'ICON" does. THAT HELPS.
