RE: Best brushless motors for GWS A-10 warthog?
I have a couple simple questions, I hope, I have an A-10 that was given to me, it has the 300 motors and EDF 55 fans, I have only been able to get it to fly once, all other times it just won't gain enough speed to sustain flight and ends up just being very long landings, I am using a 9.6 1000 ma batt & one GWS ESC , it had been being flown using a 2s lipo pack & 1 ESC, I would like to upgrade it but not go to brushless, my reason is this,even though I have it put back together nicely,it is seriously battle tested.I didn't know you could break a plane in so many different places. I want to just get it to fly reliably and get used to it then buy a new one and build it up brushless. It is my first low wing so I am still in a learning curve at this time, If I put lets say EDF 400 motors in it and 1 ESC per motor, cutting signal wire from one of course to prevent mixed signals, will I be adding too much weight for it to fly good. also I don't want to go with lipos at this time. I really like this plane and want to be able to fly it succesfully
Also I had considered buying the fan units for the new walkera and using them on it, would that work with the 400 motors and produce the thrust I need for stable flight
