RE: LR-1 Pylon racer
One thing to always remember on electrics...use a speed control higher than your expected maximum amp draw , in other words leave some "head room" . The Phx. 80 is rated for 80 amps continuous with FULL AIRFLOW , so always be sure to mount it in the airflow or right by the cowl opening if you are running 70 amps or more. The Phx. 125 is designed more for the fast pylon planes drawing 80 to 125 amps ,but it still needs lots of airflow ( like any other speed control ). I would love to get one of these since I have a Hacker B50-8S with a 3.8:1 planetary gearbox on it, but I already have too many planes as it is ! I hope Tom doesn't bring any to the Denton Swap meet this Saturday so I won't be tempted to buy one !!
