Oh that was funny, sorry for laughing. :( , well maybe not :D :D

Ok, 1st we need some color period, even cheap wingtape will do. 2nd, stay closer to home. 3rd, if those motors can't spin the 10" props you need different motors. With 3 10" props you should be able to fly against a hurricane.

Oh, if it sounds bad, that is not normal, land it and figure out what is wrong, not just keep flying :D :D
Gun oil is a really good lubricant for the bearings

I figured the noise out. the strings behind the wing motors vibrated. your right about the motors. I bought 4 e-max 2212, 1000 kv motors that came with 10-inch props and they have no power at all. I did better with the 2, 6 inch i had on it. But they are the only ones I have right now. I even tried 8-inch props and they were worse.

are those the ones that came in the power pack b? Cause I've had good luck with them. I used them in my viggen as well as my spitfire for a while.

The one emax motor I use for combat is the XA2212 1400kv, rated only for 8 or 9" props, probably 8" :D but I have them spinning 10X5 APC props and have never burnt one out yet.

no, I bought them on E-bay, They say quadcopter on them, not sure if that's the problem or not but they haven't worked very well on any plane I've tried them on.
