donald dixon Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Has anyone built anything using the 1100 Kv contra rotating motor from hobby king. I fancied designing a Martin baker MB5 for it, Now it's arrived, its certainly an impressive lump! Any advice on prop sizes etc. would be gratefully received.

Allan Bowker Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 A Martin Baker MB5 certainly would be a very nice model, quite similar in lines to a P-51 Your link didn't work Donald, I think this is what we are talking about here LINK - CLICK HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald dixon Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 That's the one! My first attempt at setting up a link was a miserable failure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowerman Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The reviews attached to the link give details of suitable prop sizes but you will obviously be limited to what is available in matching pairs due to the range of LH props being limited.

Simon Chaddock Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I was interested in the smallest version of that for my Bachem Natter pusher simply because its tiny wings couldn't handle the torque from its single prop, but they are not cheap! I'm sure it would work a treat in an MB5. I had to scratch built the props for my 'leccy' one. But then its control line not RC.

donald dixon Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 One of the attractions of this motor was the price, about £18.50! Your model of the MB5 looks great. It certainly was a good looking aircraft and from the reports was a excellent performer but just a bit late to be a success. The weight of this motor and that long nose could be a problem, but that's what makes scratch building interesting I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
