| I bought a Fun Piccolo last week. It took about 4 hours to completely build and test fly. I went with seperates since I was going to put a 010 in it soon. I first used the stock motor, but my 1020 LiPolys only hovered the heli for about 3 minute intervals before having to land and let the batteries rest.
Well I got pretty tired of that real soon, so I installed the Astro 010 14T. WOW!!! What a difference. I have at least 3 times the power of the stock setup and I can hover for close to 20 minutes straight on a 2-cell 1020 LiPoly battery. When I give full collective (I know, it's fixed pitch), it shoots off like a rocket. The GY 240 and the EDP DD motor keep the tail rock steady, even on these FAST vertical accelerations
My setup is:
GWS 4P receiver
2 GWS Pico BB servos
Astro 010 14T w/ 10T pinion and Phoenix 10 ESC
GWS EDP 50XC tail w/ 3x3 prop and Pixie 7P
Futaba GY 240 gyro.
