An order again was placed with Hobby King, the original motor was on backorder so I chose to order the Turnigy  AerodriveXp 90 SK Series 50-65 380Kv / 1820w Outrunner, a motor with similar specs but a higher Kv rating.  

This was fitted and test run, all is well at last. A quick hook up to the "Watts Up" meter and a check of the  figures showed not too much change from before.

Returning to the club field, several successful flights were made and many have been had since, there are still some minor problems that need to be ironed out, the plane seems to lack punch below half throttle, it is my intension to try some prop changes and I am also thinking of trying the new Turnigy nano-tech batteries, the reports show that these give  stronger throttle punches and less voltage sag, in short better power.
I am also unhappy with the choice of carbon undercarriage as you can see in the photos the legs sweep back and they are quite light weight, so I am on the hunt for something a little less flexible.
