hey all

I have been tossing around the idea of getting a corona electric. what should i buy. I hear people say to get brushless motors. Is there a site i can order these machines from. who and what do you all recommend?

Thanks
Dave

best guy to deal with is Mike Roffee at www.roffeetvhobby.com .. dont email him better to give him a call in the afternoon.. he knows his stuff and has great prices.. i got almost all my stuff from him.. i got my brushless motor from nippondave at www.aircraft-world.com but Mike Roffee has brushless combos for a good price

I second the notion to get a brushless from Dave at Aircraft world, great prices, great shipping!! I haven't flown without the Hacker in the heli, but the stock kits that I have seen fly aren't as smooth in transitions of the throttle. If we can get together this Sunday, (or sometime soon) I can show you my instruction booklets and my setup, with the Hacker C40-12S motor.

I'm looking at converting to electric but I don't know what the numbers mean after the name hacker. What are the differences between hackers and why do you use the C40-12s?

Also, which speed controller, and do you know if the hacker will fit into an eolo?

Yes definitely get a brushless. I should have got one too myself. My Corona is only 3 months old and the AF motor is not generating enough power anymore, still plenty of brushes left. I probably damaged the magnet.

The different in price between af motor+ cc pegasus and mega 16/15/3 and cc Phoenix is like $85 dollars. Though I never try one myself everyone say it's practically maintenance free, longer duration and more power.

Brushed motor just don't last very long, I know some people have more luck with it. I personally have gone through quite a few on my Hummingbird heli in 3 months.

I have the same question as cherikeered since I know will need to get a brushless setup. I know people have success with mega 16/15/3 on eolo and I would think C40-12s will be even better? If I get C40-12s do I definitely need a one way gear on the Corona? I heard it will strip the gear if I don't while with mega 16/15/3 it's okay?
I have problem with glitches so my brushless setup will be with a non CC esc, maybe Kontronik esc. Any comment about this esc for brushless?

By the way what is the hover time with C40-12s and 8 cells cp2400?

Thank you.
