Can anyone tell me how reliable these motors are?
What is the Time Before Overhaul people are getting from these motors?
They seem to be very powerful and compact, I am curious to hear from owners

Looking for any critiques on this setup.. I contacted multiplex on
brushless motor options and ESC combinations.. at the lowest possible
cost..
Here is what they recommended:

I have acquired a laser 120 twin and fancy using on board glow drivers
to start it - which one / s are considered the dogs danglies these days?
 I havent read a mag in well over a year so am a little out of touch.

I've been reading on this for a while.. gotten many suggestions..
forgotten /lost some of them.. mixed in other threads.. so I figured
I'll start one last thread on this subject for my own resources..
When charging Lipos.. is the recommendation to charge at 1C over 1

I've not flown in a dozen years. I have a Midwest Superhots I flew
briefly back then, but primarily with a Royal 46 Yes, underpowered of
course, but it pulled amazingly well. I put  an ASP 75 on it but that
engine was impossible to start.  I may have gotten one or two flights

Not being up on brushless motors what size ESC is a bit of a mystery,
what size will I need to be safe with a motor supposedly 500w? not sure
if you can trust these Chinese sellers but thats what they say it is,

I have been building my first plane over the winter, a Sig Kadet LT40,
and have it pretty much ready to fly.  One thing that I am curious
about in the instructions though is whether it is really necessary to
mount the wing with 12 rubber bands.  It really seems like overkill.

Time has come. Space is losing ground. It's time to build a real hangar out
of my living room we don't use and haven't for years. The boss says it's OK,
she just wants a corner for her crafts.
I'm looking for recommendations, plans, websites or what have you for wing

I have spent alot of time researching a good camera setup for my
Zagi.. not sure if this one is the right one or not (see below).
I believe the specs on my existing Zagi 400 are:  400 speed motor
(that came with the system), possibly 7.2v, 15amp ESC, 1700mah Nicad

had,an American book simply packed with projects etc.Hugely

I really don't want to pay $12 for a small bottle of CA kicker anymore. I
suspect it might be available cheaper. What is it, or what else can I use to
get the same reaction. I understand baking soda also works as a kicker, but
I would guess its messy.
