Hi Louis, I'm afraid I haven't measured my CG and I'm too lazy to pull it out of the garage (it's raining pretty hard too). I just know that with everything stock, I found the flying characteristics...

Hi Fatcat1, I'm surprised you think yours is tail heavy because I had to cut foam out of the battery tray to get mine to be less nose heavy, and I've heard others say theirs is nose heavy by default...

Good luck Fatcat1!

Thanks for the 480 info Kerbob. I'm still flying mine on the stock motor, ESC and gearbox but am starting to get annoyed with the grinding noise in there. It's just a matter...

I'm also interested as well. Piling on - do you think a Park 450 would be a decent enough replacement? I'm thinking about upgrading the 450 in my MPXT to a 480 and moving its motor/esc to the...

I did notice a negative to flaperons today while flying in 10 mph winds - it's pretty hard to get it on the ground gracefully with them deployed.

Flaperons

Hi fellow 'Phoon owners,

Great suggestions, thanks. The latest Typhoons (or at least the one I bought 2 weeks ago) are including a 30A ESC that might hold up fine, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with the 480 outrunner....

<Chuckle> I just realized you have a Park 480 in your Phoonkenstein, Kerbob. Wow, that's a lot of motor for a foamy! :eek: Did you upgrade the ESC as well?
