| Hello Mckoi
I am not really sure of my pitch range but from the looks of my blade deflection I am getting a lot in both directions
I am using a B20-26s with an 8 tooth pinion and a 100 tooth spur, my HS is around 2500. The 18L or the 31s with an 8 tooth on the stock 96 tooth spur should give you similar HS.
I am usiing a 6 cell Kokam pack(3s2p) and it gives me about 16-20 mins of flight with about 10-13 mins of very good power, 3-4 mins of good power, and then about 2-3 mins of hovering power. There are usually a break in my flight because I just cant fly for that long, I need to land for a min and then start again.
The big tail motor does feel better in flight because it has more power and it slows the tail down some to make it more predictable. If you want to pick up a tail motor for the Pro go here.

Note you will need to get am 8 tooth pinion from

I would definitaly stick with the Pro blades. I like them becasue they have a constant chord and the seem to produce a lot more lift than the Hornet blades. The also weigh more so you can do autos with them pretty easily. I have done quite a few with mine and I havent had a problem.
Hey, Steve
Thanks for the nice comment
Hello Malorie
Personally, I like the Pro better than the Hornet CP. To me it seems a lot more solid in the air and it only uses one servo per control so setup was a breeze.
The only thing that holds the Pro or only micro back is electronics. Put Steve's electronics choice in a Pro and you will have a very powerful machine. Oh, and one other thing, if the motor that comes in your Pro has a black end bell it will not last long. Get one from the link above and you should be set for a while. I think the tail motor choice is the only thing Ikaus didn't do to well. They had the right idea with the motor size but they need the carbon brushed version to handle the abuse.
