Hey KillerAir,

I am glad to hear that this motor performs well in the air. I got good test-stand results for it, but haven't had the chance to try it in flight. Using an 11x5.5 APC E and the same 8-cell 1700's I got it to produce a momentary peak static thrust figure of 22oz (626g): 13.4A/8.7V (117W) @ 6150rpm. At the more sustainable draw of 8A/9.0V (74W) it produced a very useful 16.2oz (460g) @ 5280rpm. Your use of an 11x7 or 12x6 means you might be pushing those figures even higher - but, I think its a very good thing you don't need to keep it at full throttle - I know brushless motors can take a fair amount of abuse, but the poor little thing's life span might be severely curtailed under that sort of stress!

Cheers, Phil
