CP somehow I knew I would get a mouthful from you.. Yea hot! 3 stators wound with 3 turns of 3 strands of 26g wire wired in delta...will fling a flimsy 4 4 gws prop in a split sec.. ur...contest entry....ur.....it's "in the works",well maybe not[] Thats one reason I have been straying, the lack of time. I still tell myself "I'm not an arf guy" and turn and get a foamy "kit". I'm not giving up much of my slimers, mostly the big stuff , tone the hanger down abit. I'm still gonna check locally for a machinist, or borrow some time on one.
So I'll keep checking in on the forum,thanks much Chuck!

Epilot; not the stators I need to cut. It's the bearing support, it looks like a big aluminum rim, I want to turn it down flat and smaller dia. It mounts together with a set screw on the rotor, the other end is a big chunk of round brass. the motor has to swing that mass along with a prop, I don't think this would be good, after running up the motor it takes almost a whole minute for the motor to come to a complete stop. oh...stators were in the original tape drive that and the bearing assembly is what are the goodiesI have done the chuking of the stator and running it on a file and sand paper....It worked but not the most proficient. thanks for the input
