Default Dualsky 6360, anyone using it?

I can't find any recent comments on anyone using this motor. Price looks good and it looks like it has good power numbers. Is it viable for Sportsman and Intermediate?

Yes, this motor has plenty of power for sportsman, interemdiate and higher if setup properly.

Good luck and look back in the threads as the info is still viable.

The plane in my avatar has a Dualsky 6360/12 in it (Rip).

Which design?

I have flown Dualsky 6360-12Ts for the last 3 years with good success. Swings a 20.5x14 at 5900 rpm pulling 65A. It is not as smooth or quiet as some of the newer motors but it has served me well. Bearings will need to be replaced early in it's life but new bearings of a higher quality help the motor smoothness and noise and are not expensive.

pretty easy, the old bearings can be tapped out from the opposite end pretty easily and you will need some capability to press the new bearings in, I use a standard bench vise.

Just to be very honest about this, some people have had problems with the 6360s. Some magnets coming loose and in some bad cases, the arms supporting the can have cracked if you are using a firewall mount and the bolt on aluminum prop adapter. However, there is an easy fix for that if you are going to use a firewall mount.

do the ends come off or do you do it through the holes?
