"That should be ok.  I'm gonna try TURNIGY 28-22 1400kv Outrunner with 9x5 props and TURNIGY 25amp Plush.  Once I get started I'm going to use my EagleTree to measure amp and wattage."

Bob, welcome home and thanks for replying. This picture was taken the day before we went into North Vietnam to extract an oriental asset. We were assigned to the special forces out of Phu Bai doing missions for operation prarire fire into Laos, etc. My home unit was the 174 AHC out of Duc Pho with the Americal Division in 1968.
