RE: Brushless motor from a CD drive

Hi
Thanks for the compliments. The bell you see is customade on a friends lathe . As bz1mcr said the stock bells are only good for 1 stator. If you look at my pictures above the popfly is being flown with a single stator motor.I make the bearing holder out of K&S 5/16 aluminum tubing . Then I drill the ends out with 15/64 drill bit so a 3mm bearing can be glued with CA or locktite. The shaft is a scrap pice from a cdrom that I disasembled . If you look at the link in post number 3 and search cdr you will find all kinds of info. Good luck
here is a picture of the tripple mounted in a Cougar [type] scratch built balsa and foam plane. All up weight with an 8cell Kan950 pack is 25 oz.
This motor with 3 stators has awsome power with a master airscrew 8x4 glow type prop. 9600 rpm today hope to test hop soon. Wind is crazy in north Texas now. Johnathan
