Thanks Gazz.
I put the motor and ESC in it and mounted the prop. I did this before covering as the Iron on film goes over the ESC hatch and holds it down. If I need to access the ESC I will just cut the covering and to replace it I'll Iron on some more. Needless to say it helps to know that the motor is going the right way before sealing things in.
I ran it up on a 1300 4S nanotech and with the 3000 Kv motor driving a 4.5X4.5 prop she fairly howls !!
In fact it's very nice, with no sign of vibration or anything nasy. Just good clean revs and shifting lots of air!!
I'm starting to think this will be a lot quicker than a RareBear.
If it can get to 45000 rpm and it should go close, then the pitch speed is 308 Kph
Allowing for some slippage and losses I'll be very pleased if it does between 250 & 270 in a straight line.
