They are DT-750 motors from hobbyking.com. They get a bad rap for bearing failures, but I now modify mine by adding a thrust bearing on the bottom end to distribute 100% of the weight off of the stock readial bearing and on to the airframe. With the mod, I think they are a good choice for reliability and efficiency.
It looks like I am moving to Reno by the end of the year so it will be easier to get together for flying.
The designers of the Moon Jumper are friends of the family. I heard about the show being produced and asked if they wanted some aerial video. The crew was receptive and allowed me to fly carrying a their GoPro at the end of each shoot once they had all of their planned footage completed.
