Easystar motor test (with balancing) w1111

I redid my motor testing. This time I mounted the propeller as it should be. Also I balanced it (somewhat). My experienced colleague helped with his propeller drilling tool to augment diameter of my propeller. He also explained that the text on propeller should point in the direction of flight (did not this either). So if I want the propeller to be a pusher (as on Easystar) the motor shall be "in front" of propeller. I am testing a Turnigy 9X v2 radio, I plan to buy it from another colleague. Unfortunately I am not yet familiar with the menu system of the unit and did not see that throttle stick was reversed. I learned this when I managed to pull full throttle on the motor being taped on the kitchen chair. As you can see the chair is close to the kitchen table, so it could not really tip over fully but it tipped flush to the table. I don’t have recording of this, so take my word for it. I was genuinely scared. Managed to rip out battery connection "in no time" so the motor was not running long on full blast. Even though it removed some pages from my "refrigerator shopping list" as it blew the air at it. I received some comments from my wife on this latest adventure. Don't attempt this at home, in short... Great adventure :-)
