Edited above post, I did not find out how to link dropbox photos here, had to make an album..

Well, lots of water has passed under the bridge since my last post here.. The Sea Fury had its maiden flight 2012 summer. Since then it has received larger wheels and new retracts with better struts. Now I have to fix again the landing gear due bad material on them causing sloppiness. I installed recently ramoser varioprop 4-blader 16.6". I think I have to get 18" blades , just for better looks. And sound kit because with two blader 18x12 it was much more cool sounding than with 4 blader which does not emit sound at all. And 4 blader is a huge airbrake during approach when milling at low revs. I painted the Fury with Warbirdcolor paints to resemble reno racer Bad Attitude. Added some graphics and stuff. Modded tail feathers to more scale outline, shortened the nose. Its a good flier with 2x 4S3000mAh packs in 8S configuration, with 2 blader it climbed straight up but top speed was bit slow due 250kV motor. With 16.6" x14" 4-blader it was faster but not as good static thrust with those hamilton-standard blades. Now its almost unavoidable to buy the sound kit just to enjoy low pass roar..

Thanks Chris! I have a surplus Kontronik Jazz 55-10-32 so HV esc problem solved.. 42 Volts is max for this esc , 10S LiPo or 11S A123 (12S might be too much, 43.2V..)  100g heavier motor is no problem with this size bird.  By aiming to same power level as you have with 6S2P I would get around 80% duration of 6s2p with 10s... ?? And if I go with 6s2p route I would have to buy a new esc again.  5 bladed varioprop has also been on my mind , but maybe its better to test out with 2 bladed first.  7s2p anyone?

Greetings. I just got this plane and I was wondering if anyone has used 10S A123 pack with lower Kv motor? Would capacity get too low , even though using 200ish Kv?
