yeah i find 2207s wreck a battery fast i couldnt imagine what a huge motor like those would do...just couldnt make out what the white thing under the gps was...and i dont have crossfire yet so never thought an antenna would be safe out there but if thats where they want it...i guess if you have to buy 100 more antennas its good for them anyhow lol

looks like a fun fllyer...
3 questions... how are the 24 size motors? what did you mount the gps onto? and why put the crossfire antenna out there on the arm?

Good punch, but they are lipo killers, will change them in the future for some with lower kv... GPS mounted with double sided adhesive tape. TBS says that Crossfire Immortal T antenna should be mounted the way not to cover antenna sides with carbon - best way to do so - mount in on a arm...
