Hi everyone,

I just wanted to ask if someone knew why Mr Shulman did not use an outside rotating 3phase-motor in his plane, which meant he could save the weight of the gearbox. I hear these types of motors are quite powerful even for pattern planes.

I bought myself one of a smaller size from http://www.flyware.de/ and look forward to installing it into a Tai Ji 40 or a similar plane very soon.

Although prices for batteries are still high, I aim at replacing all my combustion engines with electric motors one day and fly competitions with it.

Regards,
