RE: Brushless motor from a CD drive
Here are the pictures. Don't laugh at the ghetto plane or mount job, I was too excited that it worked to take my time. I used 15 winds, twelve 5x5x1 magnets, three bearings in the brass tube, and a stack of tiny washers to get enough clearence between the can and the stator. How do you guys get enough clearence on the stator, using a tiny wheel collar? Mine only works because it is a pusher, the bell would fly off if it was not. I will remedy this because my next plane is a pylon racer. The replacement magnets didn't make as much difference as I thought they would. The ring magnet was pretty fast. How do you get that magnet ring out anyway, I tried getting it very hot and that didn't work. I ended up grinding it with a dremmel and then scrapping the rest out.
The biggest question I have is about speed. I don't want much torqe, I just want speed, should I go high winds with less magnets or low winds with less magnets or.....?
