Default RE: Help needed!



I'm not familiar with the turnigy motors but, if the 1900 part of the model number refers to the KV rating, then that is very high for a model like yours.  Normally you would use a motor with 1/2 that KV rating or so.  The high KV motors are normally used for helicopters and edf jets.  We normally use slower motors than that on model propeller planes.  You will want to check that out.  If you have a high KV motor then you need a very much smaller prop.

If you burned things up without a prop then either you ran it too long on the bench (inadequate cooling) or you have a bad component.. </p>
