Help! Bigger Motor for the C pack

[Mr Man]

Unless you need more thrust but have limited prop room.

Or if you want it to look scale.

very true, but not for speed!

I believe it gives you more "Power" though, right?

Not sure if anyone else mentioned but Sunnysky makes a great motor, I use one in my 3d planes.

How expensive are they?

 

[FlyingWithRyan]

Which one? I've got a couple of theirs but they're all power pack F size.

I think I have a 1000 kv 2820 on my extreme flight extra, and the 2814 size might be more applicable to FT planes but I know I built a FT style hotliner with a 2820 1250kv. Bit too much power on 4s though with a 10x10 prop.

https://sunnyskyusa.com/collections/x-v3-motors/products/sunnysky-x2814 not too terribly expensive, but high quality.

It can provide more static thrust but most models already have enough static thrust and climb capability. Its more or less about harnessing the power of the motor at a slower airspeed.

Any pics of the Hotliner?

Any pics of the Hotliner?

unfortunately not, it was a Nate Griffin prototype design, if any of yall remember Grifflyer on here.

I do, do you still have the files for the plans?

Want GCode or Vector files?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Want GCode or Vector files?

are the vector ones the ones I can print off?

 

[FlyingWithRyan]

No, I have a CNC cutter for foamboard

 

[Mr Man]

Vector that way I can import it to Inkscape.

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Vector that way I can import it to Inkscape.

Could I do that, so that I could print them off?

 

[Mr Man]

Yep, import them to inkscape then re-export them in pdf format.

 

[FlyingWithRyan]

Looks like heres all I have right now.

It seems to all be there! But I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks @FlyingWithRyan !

First iteration wasn’t pretty and I folded the wings at around 110. Second one has a square carbon spar
