I decided to upgrade from a one motor pusher to a twin motor puller beast of a machine.. the motors are GT 2820/07  850kv spinning a 11" or 12" prop on 4 cell or 3 cell..
I got one of these motors in my funcub in it goes vertical on 4 cell so with two on the penguin well who knows what its going to do... my aim is 3 cell but long flight time . im no expert but it might work...

Nice Dave, like the mounts, they look very strong
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

having now seen this conversion fly I am blown away by the performance and the noise drop from a single power unit  :D

I am going to seriously consider this conversion since I prefer to fly with out attracting too much attention The cruising amps seem very good too.
