It's interesting playing around with electrics isn't it !!
Imagine how much caster you'd be wiping off everything if you did all that with a glow powered machine
Not only that, these electric motors are a lot easier to start!!
I reckon I should have lent you my tacho so you could have checked the revs s well it's hard to guess how fast it's turning just by the sound.
mate the best part is the learning . i'm learning a lot about electric principles that i simply didnt know in practical terms . its one thing knowing that a 750kw's is 1000hp as in cars on a dyno .
But it's another working from a battery pack , through an ESC to a rated KV motor , with a pole number and amp and volt rating , over the weight of an aeroplane , onto the load and pitch of a prop . then testing static , and theorising unloading in the air for thermo purposes . LOL
Puts a whole practical understanding into perspective , before you fly it . love it . simply didnt have to do that to the enth degree before .
patience !! paaatience !! paaaaaatience paaaaaaatieeence dooooohhhh !!!
DANGER WIFE CAN READ FORUMS . love you darling . sig changed .
