Looking at a 60" class plane

Many, many people are extremely satisfied with the 4315-480 on 6S with a 15x8. A Castle Talon is a great ESC as well.

Agreed, I have the 4315 motrolfly in my 60" it works great.
Btw, I've got a killer ZTW 100a ESC for sale, it's 6-12 cell (HV) and only $85

Did you need spacers and / or need to re-drill the firewall? Which mount option for the Motrolfly?

3/8 spacer, fiberglass mount lines up perfectly.

Motrolfly 4615/480 w/ fiberglass mount arrived in the mail today from Subsonic. Sweet motor!

Got a shipping notice from EF, should have the airframe on Wednesday.

So, I should have all the parts in about the time I go out for hand surgery. FML.

Airframe arrived today, in perfect shape. Excellent packaging job by EF. Build quality is superb. Can't wait to get this together

Look at OMP's new 60" Sbach. I am doing a assembly thread over in the OMP section of this website.

I'm enjoying a particularly difficult bout with carpal and cubital tunnel nerve impingement, so I am taking my time. I've gone over every reachable joint with CA, mounted the motor and ESC, and I am working on the hinges now. I only get about an hour a day of useful working time before my hand becomes too painful to use.

I'm in the process of scheduling surgery now, so the maiden is a ways off. Argh.
