Anybody know how many watts we can expect from the stock 3S 5b setup? I'm going to be loading in a 12B w/ 4S . Ran a couple up on my handy dandy Wattmeter today and with a not so fully charged 4S and saw 650 watts. Opines?

Stoked! The 105 and B-24 will keep me busy for a day or 2. Lol. Great job Motion. Best pre-order experience to date. Was great to receive birthday cards - Two shipping notices from MRC. Lol Doesn’t get any better. 63 and feel like a 10 year old on Christmas morning today.

Thanks Man ! So excited to be receiving both the Chief and the Lib for Christmas. Thanks Self ! LOL Want to check out how many watts the stock 3S 5B setup produces. I have a 4S 12B setup waiting in the wings.
Have Callie busy on the B-24 livery and a buddy 3D printing some cockpit parts.Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39

This F-105 is even nicer than the F-8 as it has a full belly skid and a flexible plastic nose cone, it took longer to setup the radio than to build it, fit and finish were perfect. It balances per the manual (365mm from the exhaust nozzle) with an Admiral 3S 1800mAh battery 10mm from the rear of the canopy opening.

Put mine together today but just could not leave well enough alone. After getting a watt reading of 250 with the 3S setup, I went ahead and retrofitted a 4S 12blade which I had bench tested earlier this week at 650 watts. That’s a huge upgrade. For $99, I want a cheap rocketship, not a Sunday driver. LOL
Its not a drop in replacement. Far from it. The body of the stock 5b is about 1/3 the length of a std 12 blade motor fan combo and the fuse is specifically designed for it. Had to carve,dremel, sand to enable the 12b fit. PITA but once I started I had to keep going . After a lot of trials, got it installed but it’s still a pretty tight fit.
The bottom cover doesn’t completely close 100% so there’s a small gap that shows. Not a show stopper. Had to tremove some foam from the h-stab in order for the back end of the motor to fit.
Looks like my RT 4S 2200 80C will fit nicely. Will have to pay special attention to cg as the 12b motor fan combo and 80 amp esc add a lot of weight. Not quite there yet.
Why an 80 amp esc you ask ? Had one laying around looking for a new home.
I did manage to goober up the silver paint in a few spots just man handling while installing the new motor / fan. I’ll touch it up later.
Using a new Admiral/ Lemon rx w/ stabilizer. Will have that programmed tomorrow.
Merry Christmas !
