matt jarvis Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hi, I'm looking for a brushless outrunner motor for my biplane,the AUW is 2KG (4.4lb)and the prop I have is a 12x6. At the moment the plane is fitted with an eflite 480 motor which I know has'nt got enough Watts per pound can anyone recomend a good choice of motor for this weight of model. THX MATT.

matt jarvis Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 The model is self build balsa Hawker Nimrod the AUW of 4.4lb is a little heavier that I first wanted for this model so have to upgrade the power to weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 OK, so it'll need to fly scale'ish but could be quite draggy too? Assume it's 40-50" span? As Ken says, a 400-500 watt unit should be ok, I'd be inclined to look at a 500w myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
