Taxi trials, despite my efforts to increase prop clearance, the 14" prop can be heard hitting the mat in bumpy areas. AUW is 6.25 or 6.9 lbs depending on the batteries I was using, with about 400 watts max power.

This morning I tested out the new battery (9S1P A123 LiFe) and prop (13x8) combination and got about 600 watts. This is the maximum voltage this motor can handle, the smaller prop has better ground clearance, and at about 90 Watts/lb it has adequate power now. Compared to the Tyro it maneuvers like a freight train, but I am slowly backing off on my "low rate" settings to increase the throw.
