Yeah the HD motor flew great on 6s.....for a few minutes....needless to say it would vertical forever and flew great once I got the battery placement/CG right. I'm kind of hesitant to ruin another motor so was just kind of looking for a suggestion. I've come across a couple that should work well but it never hurts to ask. Making a trip down south this weekend so may look and see what the hobby shops have along the way and decide if Iwant to pick up a motor or a couple 4s packs.
Tom - Thanks for the awesome plane! Got the DYS motor today. Imay borrow a buddy's 4s pack and see how it does on that while I'm shopping for a motor. I appreciate you sending the new one out so quick.
Well opted to try to stick with my 6s packs and the DYS motor. The specs on the DYS are better, 770watts versus 600 on the HD, and rated for 5s versus 4s. Amp rating looks to be about 10 more from what I can find too. So I took a power meter and ran inline to see what the numbers were that Iwas pulling. If left with the end point all the way out it was pulling ALOT more than the DYS motor could handle, as was expected. Ikept turning the end point down till it came within the wattage specs. So with the end point sitting on 35, had to turn it WAY down, its showing just under 770w and about 36 amps static. In the air I figure it will pull a little less seeing that it will be unloaded. Haven't had a chance to fly it yet but should be able to by the end of the week. Anyway, just thought I'd give an update in case anyone else is in the same situation.
