UPGRADE GEAR

While the standard RTF gear is considered adequate, many flyers will want more performance with respect to propulsion, control, structure, etc.  Here are just a few of the possible upgrades, especially those found to be most successful.

[under construction]

Propulsion (check out the Electric Motors Calculator on Related Links or use MotoCalc software to simulate results)

Motor/Propeller Combos (6" max prop diameter w/o modifying airframe)

• Stock Permax 400 motor w/ 5 x 3 (lower top speed, increased climb and duration)
• Stock Permax 400 motor w/ 6 x 3 (more increased climb, but less duration)
• Mega 16/15/4
• Mega 16/15/5 w/ 5.5 x 5
• Mega 16/15/6 w/ 6 x 3.5
