That's a 450 motor. It's not bad but it's too big for the King. |

| I spoke with a couple of COOL shop owners who said they would gladly carry Esky if it were easier to get. Apparently Esky distribution is not so good in the US. | |

The correct answer is "Yeah, they are too hard to fly for most people." You need to recast it from obscure to exclusive. |

| The copterx/trex450 clone skids are perfect for the King. These skids are kind of thin for 450s, but they are ideal for the king, and they are cheap.
I bought a cheap 450 canopy and took some sciss ... |

The king handles pretty good now. I didn't have high expectations due to all of the slop in the head, but it flies just fine. |

| Also, tight gear mesh and bad bearing in the motor will cook an ESC.
Hobbywing ESCs are really nice for the money. The Guard model will make sure none of your cells ever go under 3.1v. |

| The king has much better tail performance with higher headspeeds. I like 2400 or more. Your tail is probably lazy at those speeds. | |
