The Mini Ultra Stick does not include a gearbox or propeller.

However, we do include two different firewalls for attaching

to the nose of the plane. You need to first determine what

power system you will be using, an inrunner with a gearbox,

or an outrunner. We even include a firewall stick mount,

which attaches to the Stick Mount Firewall. The Outrunner

Firewall can accommodate small and larger outrunners, with

options of mounting your outrunner on the outside with your

aluminum mount or inside of the nose directly to the firewall.

We are recommending the Park 450 Brushless Outrunner

Motor, 890Kv (EFLM1400) with a 10x7 propeller

(EFLP1070). This will provide you with excellent aerobatic

power for sport pilots and a worry-free Outrunner motor.

For a geared alternative, try the Park 400 Brushless Inrunner

Motor, 4200Kv (EFLM1100) with a 6.5:1 gearbox

(new HD EFLM240), 11x7 propeller (EFLP1170), and a

2100mAh 3-cell Li-Po battery. This setup will provide more

power for extreme flights.

It is very important to monitor gearbox wear and motor

temperature when using the 4200Kv motor. Lack of proper

throttle management using this motor and a 3-cell Li-Po

battery may result in damage to the motor, gearbox, ESC,

and battery. Adequate motor cooling is also very important,

so make sure the motor is cooled properly in the cowl.
