Hope this is of help to the thread.

I have been using Axi motors for two years now in my 65" Hanger 9 Mustang, last year with 20 NiMh cells and this year with the excellent Thunder Power LiPo cells.

New for this year is my Axi powered Hanger 9 Corsair...superb so far!


The hardware below should work for similar 8-9lb airframes:

65" Hanger 9 Corsair (65" Hanger 9 Mustang)

9lbs flying weight (8-1/2lb Mustang)

5V UBEC (one for the Rx, one for the retracts) (6V for Mustang)

Axi 4130/16 motor, radial mount

Jeti Advance 75-3P ESC

(Hard timing, no brake)

Thunder Power 6Ah 6s3p LiPo cells

(As two, 6Ah 3s3p in series)

15x12 APC wide blade Pattern prop (15x12 APC Pattern prop for Mustang)

6600rpm @ 47A (6800 @ 43A)

9lbs static thrust (8-1/2lbs static thrust)

75mph pitch speed (77mph pitch speed)


An article about the Mustangs conversion and its power train development will appear in Traplets QEFI magazine to be followed by a review of the EP converted Corsair.


Cheers,

Pete Nicholson
