| I put on 325mm Carbon blades I bought off of someone who had a mini-titan, but they are skinny at the root and needed shimming. The blades are so quiet compared to woodies and a noticable difference in that there is less pitch up in FF. I'm back running with the stock motor and esc, I ran it till the power just started to drop (TP 2070 25C)and got close to ten minutes. The temps are way down, I mean, I would land pop canopy and feel the motor, batery, and ESC all would be mildly warm to the touch. Unlike before with the Turnigy motor, where the batteries were so hot they puffed.
This motor is not for me now, I really felt that with my layback flying, I lose more then I gain. Yes the thing is a rocket, but at the cost of almost half my flying time. I did a few punch-out's and feel that the stock setup is more then adequate for my flying skills now. My fly modes are:
PITCH:
Normal= -3, -1.5, 0, +5, +10
idle1= -10, -5, 0, +5, +10
idle2= -10, -5, 0, +5, +10
THROTTLE:
Normal= 0%, 65%, 85%, 90%, 95%
idle1= 95%, 90%, 85%, 90%, 95%
idle2= 100%, 95%, 90%, 95%, 100%

)and I just dont see having 4 min flight times if I can't make use of the power
