    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    He competed a few times when he was 12 (just turned 18 a few weeks ago) and the first aerobatic planes he flew were all 126 inch Extra 300's, so I think that's where the confidence comes from. He finished second in his first Florida Youthmasters, and 5th in his first IMAC outing with a plane he...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    Here's a 2011 video I took of the Edge if you're blocked from the other one. I think Tom had the plane for about two weeks, if I remember correctly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t99lfb6oVSU Transitioning from the 60 Edge EXP into a 78 Extra 300 will seem very natural, since the 78 is...

    How can you not like the 60 Edge? It comes in light, rocks with the rest of them, and all you have to do is fly it because it has no bad habits. I'm not near as good as Tom here, but it's the only plane I've flow so far that guys have commented... "wow, you're 3D flying has improved a LOT"...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Ok, thanks. I have a DM4330 here on my desk right now with a custom 206Kv and am going to test the 21x8 on 12S. I think the temps should be borderline at 3100W and 71A. If it's not acceptable, I'll send it back to Ken for a rewind: 216Kv with the 20x8 should do 2940W and 67A on 12S 185Kv...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Thanks... yes, that helps for the DM5335... go with the 24x10 and 24x12 props and I think the edit to the website has already been made. Any other info about the 5320 would be appreciated.

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Ken Man... I see two new motors on the subsonicplanes.com site and was wondering, again, about the prop and voltage restrictions, as well as Kv options First, are there other lower Kv options available for bigger props on the DM5320? Second, are these listed volt and prop restrictions just...

    Thanks, Manta... and can you tell us if the 31.4 oz you got is just the motor, and if so, what the AUW might be with the cross mount and hardware?

    And here is that plane on the 10S (21x10 Falcon on the A60-7S) 13.1 pound setup with 2x 5S 5000's for reference... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=319sy2HUoRA

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Here's the chart with the potential values for a 180Kv and a 22x10 PJN as well as others. The yellow highlighted rows represent the 4330 in 180 and 195 Kv, and the 200Kv is the 5335. The 1005g weight is speculation, and the all-up weight (AUW) and Watts per pound (W/lb) is with the 78 Extra...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Yes, we've discussed the 195Kv option with the 21x10 Falcon in another thread, and that's the setup I would used on 12S. Using the constants I know work for all the other Motrolfly motors I use, the 21x10 on the 195Kv with 12S should do 3180W and 72.6A at 7135 RPMs. With a 2x 6S 3300 pack, my...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    The 150Kv is fine for the 25" prop but we've already had a 23" on the 78 Extra at the field and I still think I'd feel more comfortable on a turf runway with the 22. Not disrespecting the Scorpion, but I'd also feel more comfortable with Ken's motor swinging big props through 3D maneuvers. As...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Sure, but I want to make sure that guys reading this understand that the relationship between these variables can be used in a simple way to find the power, prop, cells, motor Kv, and current, that makes sense for them. The beauty of the motors I get from Subsonic is that they are light...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Not really. You don’t add weight when you add Watts because Watts is only a product of volts and Amps, which means changing the cell count or moving up and down with prop sizes. I can add cell, add Watts, and reduce Amps without changing the weight. You add weight when you add battery...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Yep, we're talking about what some consider silly power, but is is what keeps some of us interested in the hobby. But you have to understand that we're propping down on the 78 inch airframe, which means less power, less heat, and more efficiency. With this motor, we're not really adding much...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    It would be nice if someone could measure the rotor width too. I went to subsonic to see what the rotor width for the 5320 was just to get an estimation for how the stator width designation translated to the motor width, but the motor width is blank. My Q80-7M hacker, at about 89mm wide, would...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Thanks for shedding some light on this new motor. Ken knows that I have a 50cc airplane sitting here waiting for this motor for quite some time now, and I know the it will all be worth the wait. I need to clear up a few things, tho. Matt mentioned 4800-4900 Watts on 70A, which is a virtual...

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    I like the idea about the A60-8S on 12S but am also thinking about two other options... the A60-24S, which is a 195Kv, on 12S with the 21x10 Falcon (3200W and 73A), or wait for Subsonic's new 50cc motor, which is supposed to come in at about 34 oz. My Q80-7M was listed at 35 oz, but all-up was...
