RE: Need info on a replacement motor
Well, I felt that it was what it was, meaning that it powered with the rather underpowered motor. I have a stock Seawind EP that I flew off grass and it was substantially more reactive. When it flew, it was aerobatic, responsive, and clearly more flyable. The Corvalis was a disappointment. I expected more out of it. So, I don't think it was anything like maxed out.
It took full throttle and a long takeoff run to get it airborne, Once there, I reduced the throttle to about 3/4 and flew it like that. Once properly trimmed, it did not have the response I expected when I pushed the throttle to full.
This is my basis to want to change out the motor. But, did not think about changing the prop. That's worth a check.
On a different tangent, I have a FRIO 12, 1200KV sitting here too. I am trying to find the specs on this motor. The only problem with this is that I need to fabricate a new mount.
Yeah, I am looking at every aspect of making this fly better, mainly because I believe it has potential, and with the proper power up front, I think it will be a fun flying plane.
