Could a blow manican filled with Helium be made to fly like a blimp?

Hi Guys

After burning out my scorpion 2221-10 3000kv on 4s with 6.5 prop
   
When i Got home and started to look at all the motors i had in my box of goodies and was thinking rather than high kv but low kv like my rudder Stryker with the 1050kv 10x10 Prop with 70 db output that i quickly put Together for the Pemac swap meet.

And i Realized that i Had a Motor that i Bought for my Typhoon form Hobby King many weeks ago but they shipped me the Wrong Kv and discontinued it. was supposed to be 900kv but it was 1450kv

So with That i mounted the motor to My Stryker, Fitted a 8x9 Prop (Yes a 8x9 Prop) did a Amp Test on 4s lipo
Bench Test
4s 2200ma 40c Turnigy
1107 Watts
78 amps Max
   

Did a Test Flight Locally and it scream Speed and Verticals, Pushed It heaps and after 5 Min came Down and Motor Temp Cool.
It Flew Relatively Quiet so i did a Db Test and it Came out To 78 DB worst case Scenario which is Nice to Know.

Edit
Been trying to Find more Info on motor to see what its Rated but i guess i just keep flying it and see how it goes as it test flight seem promising, only time will tell

Edit 2 found Info Regarding Hobbykings Motor Disappearance

Heh Kieran what's The Chance or You Sending a photo of the Rudder setup On The Stryker Q in its extreme positions as Just Trying To work Out Putting Rudder on My Speedster Stryker and not sure where the props sit in comparison when the Rudder closes in Front of Prop.
As My Old Stryker Rudder Setup i pushed forward the vertical Fins, and with this Setup i Thinking of cutting square and Adding Balsa Rudders to the End.

Gday All

This thread seems appropriate to notify of a project I have been working on. Reason being that the thread focus seems to be on frying things and/ or "irresponsible" amount of power.

I have a Sniper EP that was designed for a 26/12 motor driving a 8*5 prop. As I only had a 35/36 motor around I decided to upgrade. The motor box hangs off aft of the fuselage and when I had everything sorted out noted that it took 2* 2200Mah 3s batteries to balance. Aside from baulking at running on 6s there was no space left for y leads in the battery bay. So back to the drawing board. Confused

The motor box and motor was remounted inside the fuselage and reinforced with carbon fibre strip and rod thus moving weight forward. This balanced perfectly with a 4s 2200 nanotech in the battery bay plus left enough space to be able to connect the battery to the esc and close the hatch. All looking good! Thumbup

Powertrain is 4s 2200 nanotech, plush 60 sentry esc to the 35/36 motor running a 10*7 prop. The prop just fits between the tail booms.

Here's the good bit that proves I have been hanging around Kev and Steve too much. Run ups today gave the following performance.

On the bench WOT it draws 15.7V, 35.61amps, 569.1W. Nothing earth shattering there however all up weight is only 900g. Common rule of thumb is 250 to 300W per Kg equals "High Performance". Biggrin

The airframe from an area rule perspective is very slippery so I suspect performance could be enough to take on the Strykers and Funjets.

Here's hoping for a good weekend next week so she can maiden, no way I am going to do this so heads up to Kieran who will hopefully help me and do the honours.

I will post some photos when able!

Cheers

Hi Rob
Sounds like the Setup should be Fine, Curious what the Kv is on the 35/36 1000kv ?



Test Today

My Glassed Speedster Stryker with Hobbyking 1450 Kv motor and 8x9 prop is a Winner, absolutely fast and cool after every flight.

My Customed Rudder Stryker with Mods was a treat with Blenders, spins etc was so much fun, with many Flights in the wind and lots of Fun.
Unfortunately the Wind got the better of me and as i pulled out and turned i got just too close to the power line tower below the lines and clipped the tower.
(Good excuse for a stryker Q, i Think)

1100KV motor.
Bummer re the power lines mate, did you manage to land her ok or did she get trashed?

Yeah i Reckon That should be Fine 1100kv.

No Repair, it was my Old stryker Frame setup that was warped anyway as on high speed it would pull badly to one side, thats why i have my glasses speedster stryker for speed Rush, But it was aerobatic.
But Like Kieran Said The Stryker Q is Designed for Aerobatics so looking Forward to Giving That a Flogging.

Hoping I can get some tips here.
I have de-covered the TwinStar as phase one of her makeover.
As expected there are bits and pieces left behind all over the airframe, the outer clear covering has some off but the colour layer has still adhered.
How do I get this all off?

BTW Stryer looks v cool Steve.

You could try hitting it with a heat gun and scraping it off, watch the heat though!
or you can try your covering iron up on full power and heat it that way.

failing that, a light sanding

Gday Gazz/ KV

As expected my iron needs a major cleaning however got most of the residual film off. From the pace I set yesterday I will be sanding most of today. Paranoid

I am aiming for a nice smooth finish, think Gazz and Steve M highly photoshopped and you get the idea. All the current bumps and wrinkles would just create too much drag. Biggrin

That looks pretty smart Steve, whats the maximum amp draw (recommended of course) on the motor, I'm curious, why didn't you go for another Scorpion?
My brother has had his Skyfun for 2 weeks now with the same setup as mine (Scorpion 2221-8 on 4S with 4.75 x 4.75 prop with plush 80 ESC) and he loves it.

They Recommend 32 amps but I'm running this Same motor in my Speedster Stryker on 4s with 8x9 prop and it screams speed and comes down cool every time and it pushes close to 70 amps in the air.
In the Stryker Q I'm running only 3s and 8x6 prop so less stress on motor again.

I Still love the Scorpion Setups as there a tried and Proven setup and fast and i have a couple ready to go in, but i'm enjoying Playing around with Low Kv Setups at the moment with a little less amps And they have such a powerful punch in the air with the larger props that can be fitted when you use low kv motors.
As well it's a lot quieter so i can fly it anywhere any field anytime.

It's a crazy shipping method.
6 days to get from Singapore to Zurich?
God knows how long from there to Sydney, can't believe that was
deliberate. Guess they didn't know where Sydney was.
