Wow...didn't realize gearing a motor down took that much load off a motor! Thanks for the heads up, Nigel. I'm one of those nitro guys that has finally relented and accepted the fact that electrics have finally come of age. So many advantages over nitro that a slightly reduced flight time and the lack of "real sound" are worth dealing with. Well, back to the drawing board- my backup plan is to find a gearbox and slow it down for some 3D flying. Perhaps a profile Pitts Viper is in the works- we'll just have to see! Thanks again!
