That Heli motor in the link is a HIGH KV motor, designed to be used with the gear reduction system inherent in most helis.

If you put it on a plane, the motor will attempt to spin the prop far too fast.

This will mean you'll either have to use a very small prop, resulting in poor performance, or if you attempt to use a standard sized prop, you'll burn out the motor, as the prop will NEVER be able to spin at the speeds being commanded. ( Remember ESC's ALWAYS try to spin the motor at their maximum speed! e.g. KV x voltage = RPM of motor ).

Your only option would be to mount that motor in a gear reduction system, so that the plane could spin a properly sized prop.

If you did that, it would work... but then you'll have to deal with the motor mount and gearing system.

Tower actually has a nice package for both, which I've used with inrunners on various sized motors.

You'll need to keep the motor within it's maximum operating parameters so a Watt meter will also be a MUST.


Do you have a Watt meter?
