Hehe, to be honest, I don't really trust the way in which I had to mount the 61, it's not pattern kosher IMO. Hard mount and no pipe, yechh!
A friend swears by scorpion motors, but thinks that electrics are some sort of black art, so his opinion doesn't carry much weight.
It sounds like he wants to propagate the myth that basic physics is black art...
I figured I'd be looking around 400-500kv range, and if I can get 1.3-1.4kw, I'll be a happy man.
Greg, if you want to turn 11" props, keep it above 600. If you want to turn 13", 500 and if you want to go to 15" then 400 is fine but a 15" prop on a 60 size classic doesn't bode well. Make it a 120 size semi-scale pattern like the Chipmunk, Akromaster or Zlin, then, 15-16" is fine. There is no mystery to getting 1.4 kW - it's just a matter of
how one gets there.
Anyone tried the e-flite power 60? 400kv, looks to be good for 1.7kw (on 7s)..
7s? [&:] Bleah! See what kind of a pain that is to deal with.
I wouldn't touch that motor. It's fine on 60 size war birds - more or less. If you want to use big brand products, the Rimfire series is better suited to classics. E-Flite seems to have conceived all their motors either for helicopters, Extra's or pylon racing. There is nothing really there for classics IMO.
