To answer your question though, I don't use a folder, less efficient and the potential for the prop to fold to far back and rip itself off put me off.

I've been running a fixed 8x4 prop on a Turnigy D3536/5 1450Kv, 60 amp plush esc & 4s batteries AUW 2Kg. Overhead hand launch is reliable at full revs and I've never had any problems with the fixed prop. I've had a few crashes but the wing has held up well, left wing needed reattaching where it had partially separated from the ply centre body. I have needed to replace the motor anchorage screws to the mount, they seem to have got stretched, the thread lock held but the motor was loose (worth checking) I'm still playing with the Lemon stabilised rx and I'm reasonably happy with it, it is certainly a more robust option to a gimbal though obviously not as smooth.

I have from flyingwings.co.uk 4s power pack and it has 60A esc. If i want to run 9×6 prop should i buy stronger esc?

No idea as I have a completely different motor but get yourself a watt meter. You can then test it on the bench yourself and see the max its likely to pull.

If it's an energPro then they can take a fair beating. I've moved one between three planes so far, all of which haven't led privileged lives.

It's worth fitting a heatsink though, prolonged full throttle behaviour tends to put them in crawl home mode as they get a little hot. Otherwise they're great ESCs. This guy sells various sizes of heatsink which work really well: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heat-sink-ESC-heatsink-various-sizes-inc-thermal-silica-tape-2-cable-ties-/141257268618?var=&hash=item20e396dd8a

I cut the plastic away to reveal the existing heatsink surface and cable tie the new heatsink to it.

Done some painting. How is mfd autopilot gps? Can i use it in middle of the plane? How about interference? I need to waite 6weeks for my fly dream autopilot. It means if i need put gps end of  wing tip my plane is frozen. Cant do any job.

looks great, in fact... reminds me of something... ;)

Nice job, looks clean.

The MFD supplied GPSes are OK but i've never used one in close proximity to the fuselage, only really as I've had problems with GPS and other kit prior to MFD. If you'll be using a Mobius I'd look to put the GPS out on the wing, with a GoPro, Yi, SJ4000 etc you'll be OK inside the fuse.

Also, personally I'd have the motor mounted on the other side of the motor mount, it'll perform better that way round and the CG will balance up better.

You mean like this?

For a first time i will use isd cable to make cable from Dragonlink to MFD . The reason i like it is shielded. The positiv and negativ vire is more ..fat.. (sorry for my vocabulary) and signal and rssi is .. les fat.. :)

Yeas, that's it. I think Brucey runs that motor and has it mounted that way round too.

[dp106]

Having it that way will help reduce the noise a bit too
