Had to revise my motor due to balancing issues. Now using a 3650 4000kv. Will run it on 7.4V which will sit side to side on the balance point so I can change up sizes without considering balance. I don't use tape (hate the stuff) but instead the hatch is designed to shed water away from hatchway and will have a gasket along the raised portion of the hatchway. What little water gets in is of no concern as everything is or will be waterproofed. I definitely going to try it first without trim tabs, but have a small pair I can install in case.
