Best motor / prop for HL F18 conversion
I'm new to WattFlyer and have been into foam pusher jets for 2 years now. I have converted a Hobby Lobby F18 Super Hornet to pusher prop. I'm using a Super Mega Jet, 6x5.5e prop, 14.8 20 C. The plane goes well but could be better. Any ideas for good motor / prop / battery setups? Doug |

Doug,
Welcome to WattFlyer and the Pusher Jet section! To get some better traction on your question, I've broken out your post from the Welcome thread and put it in a new thread by itself. Personally I've not had any experience with the Hobby Lobby F-18, so I'm not sure what would be good. That Grayson SMJ is a good motor. Not sure what else would be good for it. Good luck on your search! |

Pusher prop follow up
Thanks Pat,
The HL F18 is molded foam, 37 inch WS. My bird weighs in at 48oz. I know that the Turnigy motors and larger prop should get me the push I need. The SMJ does work well although I'm pushing it over the design limits. I must say that I have over 40 flights on the motor and ESC using a 14.8v 3000mah battery and it's still going strong.  Now if would only stop snowing here in Chicago!
