Default RE: The new electric YAK 54 from Greatplanes!

Capt,
I'm sure your pulling alot more watts and more total prop rpm as you have 300 rpm's per volts than we do...Thats a total of 3300 rpms more @ 11.1 volts!

Just curious? Earlier in the thread you noted that you were trying to learn about motor ratings.... 950 Kv is 950 rpm's per volt that you supply the motor. WOT w/ a 950 kv motor using a 11.1 volt lipo equals 10,545 prop rpm and you have 13,875 @ 11.1 volts with your 1250Kv. I'm pretty sure you knew this but just in case some others didn't know how to equate that.

I just think that GP should have reccomended a 1250 Kv motor instead or at least posted true specs so that buyers could better judge what to use for a power source at the spec fly weight. The specs don't tell you what voltage and prop loading that their specs were acheived at.
