MaxCim system in New Kadet Sr. ARF
Another fun MaxCim brushless project!
This is my latest E conversion project. This is the new Sig Kadet Senior ARF. It is a very nice model and is typical Sig quality and engineering.
I flew this plane for the first flight today and it was great. It is powered by a MaxCim brushless system using 20 cells and a 3.3/1 gearbox. This seems to be another great combination.
I will give more details and provide more pictures in the next couple of days as I have time. Right now I want to have some more fun flying it. I will be flying it at the Electric Fun Fly in Brockport, NY this weekend.

Motor mount for MaxCim motor
Here is a picture of the motor mounting detail for the MaxCim brushless electric motor. The supplied mount was utilized and works well. A plywood plate and clamshell mount was also utilized in the installation.

Prop Size?
What prop has given you the all around best results with your current setup?
I haven't done too much experimenting yet. I have been using a 14x10 which works well. I may try a 15x10 with a 4:1 gear ratio just to see which is better. I don't expect to improve the performance but possibly the flight time.
