The Axi's are MUCH heavier than an equivelent Plettenberg and from posted numbers draw higher current on the same prop/rpm combo.

I have to agree with chad. The AXI 5330/18 is a very powerful motor and easily pulls my 6.8kg Composite ARF 2x2 extra vertically as far as you could want with an APC 20x11 prop. It draws around 75A. I use Flightpower 10s3p 7500mah packs which weigh 1.6 kg. A 10 min flight uses 5.6A. I like the throttle response of the AXI, half throttle for level flights and the full when into the vertical.
For F3A you need an airframe 3-400g lighter and a 10s pack capable of 20C burst to use the AXI on a 5000mah pack. I have a thunderpower 5300mah prolite pack due monday so it will be interesting to see how it performs.
The AXI5330/24 is a lower reving motor drawing less current. Now that I have some APC22x12, 22x13 APCwe props it will be interesting to see how this goes. The AXI 5330/24 with a bolly wooden 23x10 didn't have the power needed.
The AXI has large cooling vents and seems to run cooler than the plettenberg. My Plett 25-13 certainly is around 250g lighter than the AXI and will run on the Flightpower 5s2p 5000mah packs. I will be flying it today with a APC19x12APCWE at chads recommendation in my impression patternship.
I have an Extra 30-10 due next week so it will be interesting to compare the motors. However, the AXI's certainly are good value for money, and my 5330/18 has certainly had some work and performed faultessly. The factory recommends 20-30 degree timing and the power at this timing is awesome.
