| Mick,
I was running the Ikarus 67153 blades with the curved tip
and washout. My head speed was a bit higher then 1800 I
think it was closer to low 1900's don't recall exactly,
but as I'm sure you already know, a well set up ECO doesn't
need much more to be very aerobatic. Probably why I still fly
an 8 and a 16--they really are a pleasure when all is going well
but, like you say, with a 4mm feathering shaft (amongst other things)
they really cannot take much banging around ..... O - well .
Anyway for this reason I woun't fly on anything bigger or
heavier then the 480mm 67153. Otherwise, a quick landing or
the blades getting out of wack on either start up or spool down,
WILL BEND the feathering shaft. I was considering trying
some stock Mikado 500mm woods on the 16 at some point though,
just for laughs
On the 16, I was running a Mega 22/30/3 wrapped in a KK600 heat
sink on 5 series. Always thought this set up was sweet, Though
I've wanted to switch this motor into a Logo 10 I have in the
works and thought the AXI 2826/8 would be a good alternate for
the 16 (as I have it laying around). Assuming I'll still have
the cooling fan up front, I suppose I'll have to give it a try.
Thanks for responding.
