I'm trying to figure all this stuff out. I came here because it looks like there's a lot of good info but research was never my strong suit. I'm having a hard time piecing everything together. Here's what I THINK I know so far.
I'm going with an HP05S brushless main motor. That paired with an XP-7A ESC flashed with BLHeli code should take care of my main, right? (I got this info off the Asteroid Designs website).
Now my concerns...
I know the frame needs a slight modification to get the main motor to fit. Won't that weaken the frame?
One of my bigger concerns is tail blowout. Upgrading the main won't help this. I have to upgrade the tail also but I don't want the huge and heavy 120sr tail. What are my options here? Can I just go with a larger tail motor or do I need a brushless conversion for that also?
Batteries... I'm assuming that I'll need to step up to the 550mAh batteries that are out there now. Not a problem for me really but what about the weight? Am I going to have to rebalance the bird?
My head is swimming with possibilities. It's too much to absorb at once. Please help me sort this out.
