What a difference the right motor makes! - WattFlyer RC Electric Flight Forums

Beemerider · 05-30-2012, 10:01 PM

Been flying a 2m sailplane I converted to electric. Been flying it for roughly two months. I'm kinda new to the hobby and really new to electrics. Started flying glider on a 1650KV motor. After accumulating a few planes and motors I removed the 1650KV for installation on a smaller plane and installed a 1000KV on the sailplane. The 1650 flew it ok but not knowing how it should react I really had no basis for comparison. Wow--what a difference the 1000KV made! Like flying an altogether new airplane.

It climbs with authority instead of the straining it did before. Runs quieter and cooler. For whatever reason flights seem smoother--not having to continually change throttle settings. Left wattmeter at home so couldn't make power comparisons.
I'm really impressed.

Maybe now I won't crash so often.
