I use 5.5mm connectors and have made an adaptor for your HXTs.
BTW, I don't think the connectors would be the issue but you're pushing things a bit with HXTs.
I'll meet you some time after 2pm.

Hi Phil, Thanks for your reply, set the throttle points a few times now so think that's ok, looked at all the youtube vids from motion RC and learned a lot. We are thinking that the batteries are causing the problem. Mike has kindly offered the use of two good packs so as we can perhaps confirm this. If that's the case I will have to dig deep and get some decent lipos. No pain no gain LOL

There is a number of different recommendations for lipos for the F14. RC Geeks fitted a pair of 5800mah packs after removing some of the foam and modifying the battery bay. All the videos seem to show the Model flying on stock motors with plenty of power and vertical performance.

I have to admit after scrolling through the first 14 pages I was getting eye-sore. :lol: Thought I would leave it to you. I still think it may be C ratings. EDFs are power hungry for devils.
I have a Taft Valkyrie 90mm and it sucked the 5000 maH 40C lipos to nothing in less than 3 minutes. I do have a redundancy RX onboard too for controls but it don't glide very far either as we found out twice.
