Default RE: Another brushless 'myth', lower KV = more torque

Yea, I have a Novak 13.5 but I loaned it to James. I will be getting it back on Saturday at the races. I will be doing tests on everything soon with the current tester as well. However, there may be an error with the mathematics brought to my attention by Stranahan. I am working hard on the math, but I am open to suggestions to make sure I get this done right. I am looking for an accurate way to calculate the angular acceleration when the acceleration is not-constant. John has shown me how to get it by fitting a cubic polynomial to the angular velocities taken from the table. But we need to find another way that is more automatic so we don't have to 'best-fit' a cubic poly every time. I guess this means now I will be delving into my calculus mathematics text book yet again! I haven't opened that thing in years!
