Another happy customer......

Since I'm waiting for the new Plettenberg EVO II for my Xigris, I have moved my old EVO from my Genesis to the Xigris as a temorary solution. While waiting an new Pletty, I decided to give the Himax a try in my Genesis. I received the motor a week ago. The weight of my motor is 625g with the prop adapter, wires shorted about 50 mm, and with 4 mm bullet connectors. No mounting hardware indluded.

Last night I had three flights on it. I used a JETI Spin 99 controller with 24 degrees timing, and a APC 20 x 13 prop. Batteries was Flightmax 5000. First impression is that it is very quiet - more quiet than my EVO. I had to lean more on the throttle than with my EVO, but that can be caused by the prop - I think a 20,5 x 14 will be more suited to this motor.

I did not bring any measuring devices, but the readings from my controller where max amps around 60, and max (in flight) RPM of 6200. I know that the Spin amp readings is way off, so I will hook up my Eagle Tree logger at a later time. After 8 min flights (P11) I put back around 3300 mAh in my packs.

All in all I'm very pleased with this motor - I will post some log data later.

Best regards - Paul
