Graupner 1600-5 12volt motor to brushless??
I have an old graupner brushed motor that I am using a FX 35 digital ESC 50AMP. I am wanting to go with a brushless set up on an old graupner pylon plane and have no idea where to start as far as converting the motor and esc. What prop size would a person have used on this set up. I just bought it at an auction.
thanks
thanks

What size is your plane, and what do you think its AUW might be?
Good heavens, that motor weighs 14.1oz!!!!!
Graupner Ultra 1600-5 12V #1792
1180Kv
2.700amps
0.0800ohms
14.10oz
For slightly lower weight you could get THIS: http://www.graupner.de/en/products/7...8/product.aspx
.......and at 1200W that would surely tear your wings off.
My feeling is that if you could find a far lighter 1200Kv motor rated for 500W-600W spinning a 10x8 perhaps, you'd have plenty of power.

I am actually going to use the motor on my40 size telemaster and use it as a trainer for my 6 yr old. Thinking 11x7 direct drive on a 3s or 4s lipo. The plane that I had in the pics was an older graupner racer that was about 5.5 lbs with out the battery
