    Not using the manufacturers recommended set up for an electric motor

    I disagree. For the same given power required flight times will go down. It is common sense and science. Wattage and amperage are not the same thing. When someone said you prop up and down to get the same amp/watt ratings, that is not a correct way to phrase it. It should be prop up or down to...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    well I have a bunch of 12S batteries at 3700 mah and 5000 mah. If I use 21X10 PJN will that over stress the motor? Or do I need to go down one size? I figured if buck was using 22x10 PJN on 10S then 21x10 PJN on 12 S is pretty reasonable. Right?

    I thought about that too, but then again you only live once. I've put in my order but if you want in let me know. I'm sure they haven't shipped yet. 267 275 7370 for quickest response. Do you fly at the Santa Clara Tomcats club?

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Finally ordered the 76" MXS! Blue and Yellow version. Got the Scorpion SII 5525-210 for motor. I bought the motor from Buck Tracker before learning that the motor shear off the prop in flight. Anyone else have experience with the motor?

    Ok...thanks for all who posted. I've read the posts before, but things change and it is good to get newer information especially from helpful people. So next step is to see if someone in the area is planning on buying anyways and ship to COMMERCIAL area.

    Hey guys, maybe you guys can help me out with a shipping question. I just entered my shipping info on UPS (pain in the butt) and it was $210 for 76"mxs! If I ship to a commercial address, how much can I save? Why does 3DHS do it seemingly for much cheaper. For example a 70 velox is $56 bucks...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I'm interested. Can't see too well on the iPhone but is it gas? Only interested in electric. Also, thanks everyone for replying regarding shipping. The other strategy I suppose is to have them bring it to a flying meet.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Thanks for the sound advice. I read on this topic some got charged $500+ for shipping. Almost the price of the plane! Also, I'm allergic to gas but luckily I have 3 set of 12s 5000 batteries I plan to use. May I ask how much was your shipping and to what state?
