[NSRCA-discussion] Local Hobby Shop came through for Joseph

[J N Hiller]

Not wanting to get involved in specking a motor based on construction
details, I've used E-Flite motors exclusively in my conversion to E-Power,
from a 450 to 160. They are conservatively specked to corresponding glow
sizes and I've been impressed with all of them. Yes they were all purchased
from local hobby shop inventory.

Here is a practically live story about the local hobby shop.  We have been
unable to get Joseph's F3P plane going due to some kind of timing thing
going on between the Hacker motor and the speed controller.





A last minute trip to the hobby shop last night at 7:45pm  yielded an
Eflight Park 250 motor.  Now, this was not a motor we were planning to use
for the team selection, but I'll tell you what, we had to limit the high end
thtottle curve to 60 percent because the motor has so much power (the
airplane is pretty light).  That plus we substituted a 1/16 inch mount in
place of the aluminum mount and now the setup is lighter than the original
Hacker setup.





Two things- first this is an awesome little motor for F3P.  Second but more
importantly the local hobby shop was there for us.  The motor itself cost
around $31.





Regards,
Don
