Hi guys,
Iam using thismotor in a Greatplanes Slinger and get super performance for slow to fast flying and some aerobatics. It seems to be getting pretty hot, however, and Iwas wondering what is a safe operating temperature for brushless motors? My next flight I'll remember to take my infrared <span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">thermometer</span>with me so Ican see exactly how hot it is getting but right now Ican't touch it for more than a couple seconds.
Iam using the stock prop and the canopy has a cooling port in the front of it so I'm sure it's getting sufficient airflow. If it is overheating should Iget a thinner prop?
Igeneraly keepthrottle at about center stick for normal flying which is 90 percent of what Ido so it concerns me that it gets so hot with such mild flights.

Thanks for any help,
Brian
