Motor: FPVCycle Five Inch
* FPVCycle - https://bit.ly/3amvpbm

Team Blacksheep carries FPVCycle parts but the Five Inch motor is not listed at the time I'm making this. International shoppers should check TBS store in order to save on shipping.

It's currently June, 2021, and the Five Inch motor is out of stock until August at least. My 2nd pick would have been the T-Motor F40 Pro IV if you want to buy now. It's a great motor, but it doesn't have the unique flight characteristics of the Five Inch.
