Hi,
It is an interesting concept.
I was considering it before but thought it would be too expensive to switch from my current ordinary non sensitrol Hacker Q80-14XS and Mezon ESC to a Sensitrol Q80-14XS and Sensitrol ESC. I asked Hacker if an ordinary Q80-14XS could be modifed to senstrol but it could not, one had to buy a new motor.
How good the Sensitrol package is I do not know. I know one top norwegian flyer used it last year in a biplane and I have seen him fly with the Sensitrol. He used a 2-blade prop (not sure what prop).
Slight negative is that one get locked into Hacker for both motor and ESC, and the Sensitrol ESC is on the heavy side also.
Maybe one could argue if a Contra would be better then a Sensitrol setup?
It is pros and cons with everyting. But what is the goal one want to achive?
If Sensitrol would give considerable advantages I suppose it should be more popular - but is it so many that use it?
It for sure would be interesting to hear if anyone had both a plane with Contra setup and a plane with Sensitrol setup, and hear opinion on the pros and cons for both systems by somone who has used them both.
