Well first of all this motor has two things going against it.... One it's $224 New..... it would be a shame to nose it in and damage it since it's 4x more power than you need. A model of that size...

Funny I just dug mine out of the drawer for a 1.8m Nike 2 glider project. This motor was Prime Quality 14 years ago and IMHO still better quality than most, but as technology and manufacturing gets...

RE: Great Planes Cosmic Wind Club Racer

I do not like flutter. The ply will keep the lift side of the monokote from resonating.

Wow, the stock main landing struts and tires were 7.4 oz!

New home made landing gear now 4 oz and gives me another inch height for larger props.

I wanted to extend the battery tray and move the ESC to a central balance point, where the center of weight is 50/50 front-back, and side to side. I believe having the ESC above the center...

RE: Powered Glider Suggestions?

He hee, I shared :D

I was able to pick up the 4 wing servos from the LHS this afternoon. After more calculations I have settled in on 6s2200 60C lipos and a 13x7 APC folding prop.

This will...

RE: Powered Glider Suggestions?

I too agree on how nice the Mystique has been assembled. The Plettenberg Orbit 25-16 motor is a perfect mount.

Feels like I'm grounded because the work load on the job is keeping me from...

RE: power 25 brushless can i use a 11x7 prop?

The 13x6.5 prop will be the best and create the maximum safe loads using 3s packs. The RPMs will drop as you increase both the pitch and diameter. Go up in diameter means go down in pitch. A 12x6...

RE: power 25 brushless can i use a 11x7 prop?

The 12x8 I find to stall and not produce as much thrust during take offs because the prop can't bite into the airstream going that slowly in the air. That apc 13x6.5e will be the best for a 3s pack.

RE: power 25 brushless can i use a 11x7 prop?

The 4s setup should show about 12.8 volts under a 44A load .... so 12.8v x 44a = 563.2 watts. A freshly charged battery will have higher voltages at first but slowly drop as it drains. Set the ESC...

RE: power 25 brushless can i use a 11x7 prop?

Using your 40A ESC you might not be able to use an 11x7 prop unless that ESC can handle more than 40A for a few more seconds, then it should work because you'll not be flying full power all the...

RE: power 25 brushless can i use a 11x7 prop?

Watts= amps you read on the meter multiplied by the voltage from the batteries. This motor will produce the best power on a 4s lipo (20C or higher) and an APC 11x7e using at least a 50A esc. Use at...
