Static motor parameters 4190 RPM from 19.26V and drawing 40.8A (785W), which is 87W/lb.  The RPM is low but it is quite large 3-blade propeller so there's plenty of thrust
Flight performance Flies nicely, not excessively powerful but has a good presence in the air and isn't unrealistically fat. The relatively low wing loading gives a very low stall speed

5 May 14 - During the build of this model I replaced the elevator servo for a much more powerful version as I wasn't happy with the supplied servo for this critical control.
