New Motor

[Rodney Kirstine]

Well, motor number 3 is now installed and ready to go. This thing looks freaking huge in there!

Sure does what motor?

[Rodney Kirstine]

 It's a Compass SZ 4926. It should be a strong motor. It's wound with a single 1.4mm wire and YY terminated.  The wire is gargantuan compared to other motors I've had.

Did you ill the other two or just trying something new?

[Rodney Kirstine]

My first motor burned up when this happened:

Last week, the replacement Hacker that Alan sold me went up in smoke when it ended up with part of a broken retaining ring inside of it, somehow.

Looks nice and really close !!

hope it won't rub.

 It is  fairly close but it has plenty of clearance. The mounting pattern is 4x25, though, so I bought a motor mount from Ralph at FBL. I've gotten a couple of flights in but I'm still working on a couple of other issues. I checked the CC log after the first real flight,  it hit 5300 Watts a few times. It seems to have a bunch of grunt!
