JayCee Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi Is there something wrong? I have this set up in my recently assembled Hangar 9 Pulse 125 XT and I'm pretty sure things aren't adding up power wise Model weight 10.5lbs This Motor This ESC Prop 17 X 10 Batteries 2 X 4S 5000mah in series (8S) I was expecting about 2000 watts at about 60 amps! but I'm only getting 1300 watts at 44 amps at max throttle!. The Electrical spec (Hangar Manual) suggests an 85 amp ESC so I assume they are expecting far more than 44 amps at max throttle. Any thoughts?

Steve W-O Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I see the motor is rated at 1700W (or near) What is the voltage at full throttle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCee Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi Steve Well run it up again to get the voltage on load, and guess what.....getting 1880watts at 60 amps full throttle which is what I was expecting quite why the discrepancy from last time I'm not sure. but that is good enough!

Maybe a not-so-good connection That is over the rated power of the motor looking at the link you gave, but if the batteries are full, it will soon drop down a little. Glad it is OK though, it is nice to see some big planes with electric motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCee Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi Steve Still see myself as an Novice/Improver if there is such a thing so flying at full throttle for more than a few seconds at a time is rare, so long as I can get some vertical climb to do some loops and Cuban eights I will be more than happy. Stunning plane, especially in leccy set up no chopped up cowl can't wait to do a maiden flight.................just waiting for the weather JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
