Looks wonderful Jim.....
 
What power set up have you used?
 
Is this the beginning of a slippery slope do you think....? Will you be ripping your OS15 out of your Mini Super & replacing it with an outrunner???

Cheers Steve
 
Best I can tell you is it has 100w. outrunner and the gubbins that goes with it,it pulls 89w with 8 x 4 prop. had to buy the motor at LMS £12 and the rest of the gear came from a friend of mine
 
No chance of of the 15 coming out of the Super , I doubt if I'll ever go fully electric,too set in the old ways.

Never say never Jim...
 
Before you know it you'll slip into the Dark Side......let us know how it flies....I bet 100 watts is too much & you end up floating around at half throttle......
