550 Brushed to brushless
Hi All,
I have an electric glider with a 550 brushed motor running a direct drive 8x4 prop. I am running this on 8.4 NMh Battery. I would like to replace the 550 Brushed motor with a brushless one. Unfortunately I am not familiar with brushless motors and have no clue what brushless motor would be an equivalent replacement for a 550 brushed motor.
The motor sits inside the plastic fuselage, so it would have to be roughly the same diameter as a typical 550 brushed can motor.
Can someone give me suggestion to brushless motor replace ment. I would like not just the name brand but the actual model number of the branch.
Thank you,
Michael

How long of flight time u get with ur glider get?
I got a motor like urs ,its supose to be a 600 by greartplanes but find no marking,useing a 2:0.1 gear reduction,8.4v pack and was turning 7000 rpms with a 9-6 prop,got about 8 minutes at about full thotle.But Iam thinging this will not fly the electtric J3 cub by Great planes..Any thought would be great..
Just new at this electric flight..
