Gday All
Thanks for the advice, Kieran you are right, I am "scared" of raw horsepower at the moment. Due to the fact that I have had very little flying time of late I have decided to step back a bit and consolidate my skills on the mini cub. If I turn it into a missile I will not be achieving the above aim. I am also very geared at the moment to building/ improving as opposed to repairing. My 1.63m glider now has a modular motor mount that will allow easy changes of power sources to cover some experimentation that I have planned in a month or two, the Twinstar is also almost ready to roll so for those 2 aircraft I want to really make sure my fingers and brain are at their flying optimum. Could I give that bell motor a spin as it seems to be the best option so far until I decide a final motor choice when I am back up to speed?
Cheers
