Back in the air!

Well I had my wings clipped for awhile but finally have the free time to stretch my wings. Flying again at TCC SE campus in the evenings and Webb Park before 5 p.m.. Tried Webb Park but too many people are using it for football and soccer practice after 5 p.m. to be safe. TCC-AISD building off of Southeast Blvd is closed after 5 p.m. and the parking lot is empty so flying is uninterrupted. Security has been by so they still don't seem to mind people flying on campus property.

Purchased a NTM 3000kv motor from HobbyKing and put it on an F-22 today. It is smaller than the Turnigy 2223-2900kv I have used in the past and is rated to handle more amps. It mounts just like the Turnigy so it is a simple swap. It doesn't come with any hardware so you need to buy screws and x-mount separately if your not going to use a HK conversion motor mount. Put a 6X4 prop on it and takes it to max amps so you might need to use a smaller prop to be on the safe side. Smaller can will help when mounting in a FunJet or one of the many clones being offered now.
