RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

looks great - good luck on the maiden. What did you use for elevons and how are they attached? I was planning on using stockers and HD packaging tape.

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Pyrock - How did you like the 16/15/4 compared to the 16/25/4? Everyone's raving about the 15 so I just ordered one for the fun of it. Seems the wt savings might be significant. Although my...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Go to post #14 in this thread for universal combat module interface. Uses stock combat module . It's only around $25 if I remember right . Bought one and it works great - put it on any plane with...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

FC : have you tried or heard of anyone trying the APC 6.5 props (10 - 15 pylon)? I think they might work w/ my 16/25/3 but I know they are designed for glow and don't know how they would perform in...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

According to the simulations I ran, that motor won't produce enough thrust when used in a direct drive application. E-Flite recommends gearing it 6.6:1 and running 10 - 12" props. I would highly...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

SQVUE - I ran a quick Motocalc (you really should get this) on that motor and it seems that if it's geared 2.8:1 it will produce about 22 oz thrust with a 7x5 or 6 prop while pulling about 20A on a 3...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

T-1 : This plane is great w/more power. I have a Mega 16/25/3, CC35 esc, UBEC, TP2100 3 and 4 cell lipos. It's scary fast with plenty of vertical. I've only flown it a few times and am still...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Thanks for the info - the motor is off a little - the rear (prop end) is more to the rt than is the front. I thought that might be designed in but I guess not. As far as it needing a lot of down...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Flew mine today for the first time and it was just awesome. I was running out of light so I didn't do much but trim it, cruise it , and punch it a few times but it had great power even with a...

MT : that really is a great video - everyone I show it to is duly impressed. I'm setting up a 16/25/3, but am interested in the 16/15/4 for it's lower wt. and obviously great perf. I ran some...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Thanks for the info - On the thrust angle issue, my motor actually slightly angles toward the left side of the plane. Do you think that is detrimental / should I adjust it so it vectors straight...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Pyrock - I sent you a pm with a Motocalc chart attached so you can see the approximate effects of different props. This data suggests near stock performance with the 6X5.5 on 3 cells, so it seems...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

I've only been flying for 2 yrs and for me the Stryker is a little squirrely if I'm not giving it 100% concentration. I'm hoping some expo and mixing will smooth out the brushless mutant. My...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

I don't know where these numbers are coming from but the 4 cell battery might be the hot ticket here. Motocalc shows your motor with a 4 cell TP 2100 draws 25.4A, 15000 rpm, 27oz thrust with 7x7. ...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

I think your setup will be fine - but based on the numbers I'm running (and that alone), I think the 3 turn motor is better for this application. You have to take this all with a grain of salt cuz...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Motocalc obviously isn't real world but is surprisingly accurate for predicting current, watts (power), etc. I have confirmed this many times with a Whattmeter. You have a pretty high amp setup -...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

I'm currently working on a brushless setup that would retain the combat capability. I am installing a Mega 16/25/3 (I know it's a little heavy) and I believe a possible solution is to run 2...
