No particular plane in mind, Gary. I was just wondering if this sort of thing had the extra umph to weight ratio to be useful in some fixed-wing or other.

You know... folks are always asking for something new or innovative for use in an application.. and I thought this one, being advertized as being a powerful motor would do for a good powerplant on a fixed wing that may need a bit more power.

CGr.

Gotcha.

But now days there are plenty of really high powered motors that equal that of glo or even gas engines with brushless and LiPo technology. It gets expensive with the bigger planes though.

I'm an old RC car racer and the latest rage here is 1/8th scale electric offroad. Now, thats expensive!
