Electro-Fried & repaired

In Mdi-flight she just went crazy, then to the ground she went..!! I found the receiver,esc,ubec,a 4-cell battery and 2 serveo's fried I mean electrical stinking fried. After hunting and pecking for the right replacement parts to my liking and not recomended I ended up with a E-Flite 60amp ESC, a Tucan EDF motor to fit in the space I had and to run on a 4-cell. I mounted the esc on the left side under the wing and since it had a built in ubec I didn't need another. I had to drop the prop from a 9x6 to a 8x3.5 to keep from exceeding the ESC wattage and fry my system. I tested it at full throttle with a in line watt meter. with this set up she pulled 50 amps peak, so I had room to spare and the motor didn't over heat. The ESC was very warm but out in the air flow so on a hot day I want run her at full throttle for long..!! I never fly over 3/4 most of the time anyway..!!
