Default RE: Electric contra-rotating motor

Hi All,
Very interesting.
Two 500 KV motors on 5S ... that's maybe 8000 to 8500 RPM, and the props are not that far apart, so I am eager to hear this one.
We still have one isue that the differential gearbox contras solve innately: that is the desired effect of torque or power sharing that cancels the spiral airflow at a variety of speeds, RPMs, and maneuvering loads. A new control circuit that slaves one ESC to the other will be necessary.

Regards,
Dean Pappas
