I like the specs on that motor, though I have never used or seeing one. Thing that impressed me the most about it is the fact that the shaft is reversible, making for easy installations on almost anything available out there.

Re the e-mail I'll check that particular Inbox and see that I have your e-mail address, then will send you everything I have. It's been a couple of hectic days, never thought I would get so much mail from that "incident". :)

YES I BET IT HAS, the motors come in what I call a reverse mode. they are ready to take the AXI type prop mount, the three screws on the outer ?? what do you call it?? I call it the outer can. I'm mounting them tonight should be able to test SAT. K

I'm mounting them tonight should be able to test SAT. KSome people call it the rotating can. I've never researched the proper designated name for that part. I'd be interested in hearing of your experience with that motor. :)

Good luck with the maiden tomorrow. :)

Our group is getting together at our electric club field early tomorrow morning as well, like 7am. Weather in the Washington, DC area is supposed to be really nice tomorrow. :D

PaulHi Paul,

URL to the site is found below, though there are no performance specs given for some of these motors.

I was pleasantly surprised to find some specs for the 2409-18 Delta. I'd bet that thing would make a Zagi scream on four cells and a smaller prop. :D

yep the delta does look impressive, especially on a 4cell pack...roughly 30+ ounces of thrust and drawing 15A!!!

Those 400 series motors look impressive as well. And some of those motors look very similar to the Dynam motors I will be carrying. I have the A22-10S right now:
Model RPM/V Idle Current Battery Working Cur (A) Max(A) weight
A22-10S 1280 0.75 3 LiPo 4-13 16 49g
A22-15M 1100 0.8 3 LiPo 6-16 20 67g
A22-20L 920 0.9 3 LiPo 8-22 26 85g

darkside, yes they all begin to look the same. I begin to look at web sites and get dizzy. A friend gave me one from truerc so I tried on a wing I have. Nice speed, no heat. So I thought I would try two for the sonic. We'll see. K I'll check your site also. It seems there are so many people jumping in this business !!

Flew the sonic today, new mtrs. great very fast. I need a bigger area to ring it out. I'm changing props to get it to go vert. + adding servo to ele. to make it more responsive. All in all great plane
