I think your best bet is to get an account on the Ezone (http://www.ezonemag.com/) and visit their discussion forums. A brushless is probably your best bet, but people might be able to suggest what to do to reduce the load (and therefore increase MTBF) on the motor you are currently using. RCSE folks probably intersect with Ezone folks a bit, but the Ezone is a community geared much more toward that sort of question. Now, if you were wanting to know how you might get your Tiger Moth to land within 10cm, I'm sure we could all suggest some great skeg designs that would both stop the plane dead and turn your featherweight parkflyer into razor-wielding menace to society, but I digress :) Here's a quick search link that returns some results: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=754625&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending -Peter -- Peter Jensen ... http://www.diff.net/peter ...
