pick a plane, any plane,

[sundown57]

I kinda bought a motor by mistake, ( it looked a lot bigger in the picture ) anyway I only paid 2 bucks for it so now I need to figure out what to do with it. help me Pick a plane this motor will pull. The stranger the better lol.

ELE 13 gram Brushless motor
ELE C10-Pro Brushless motor
9 tooth stator 12 pole
1850Kv
2 to 3s lipo depending on prop size

There's my Arrowhead tailed delta, which would work well with that motor. It's fun, and I'll be updating the design to a 4ch option soon. If you don't have/have never flown the FT DR1, I highly recommend it, and think that motor could work for it. Another one that would be fun is A Clancy Bee, either the slow flier version or sportier faster one. I'm working on a custom high mounted pusher version at the moment.

Other than that, anything. $2 is a steal for a motor.

I have made a lot of FT DR1's I'm not sure this motor would pull it. I did one with an A pack motor and that was about as small as I think would work. this motor is even smaller than the A pack. kinda like an A- pack lol.

Hmmm. Maybe a mini Lazy Bee or a really basic delta, or a plank possibly?

i was thinking of maybe using an arrow as the fuse and then pick up some 3 gram servos and a 2 cell battery real simple and light

 

[sundown57]

another good candidate might be like a 75% nutball. light and simple

The nutball would be perfect. I've built 3 of them and loved each one

Buy 3 more and build a quad.

In all seriousness, you should do a profile 3d biplane scratch build. It being profile means it'll be light!

 

[sundown57]

wow these are all really good ideas, I should have bought more of these motors.

i hate to ask but what is a profile 3d?

planes where the fuse in not a 3 d shape and round.. Just a vertical cut 2d shape rendering the profile from side view and MAYE a horizontal support plate besides the wings.

oh ok yeah that makes sence. thanks

I believe a popular and proven profile plane is Twisted hobbies crack yak. I know several good pilots doing 3d now in larger balsa gassers that started with them.

Matter of fact this is an old friend who used to fly quads and post here that transitioned and he flew them starting out. (which reminds me. I need to poke him with a stick to see how he is and what he is up to)

Out of curiosity where did you get this motor?

Those are really hard to do out of foamboard...

thanks for all the advise, so far I built the nutball and arrow. Super windy today so I didn't get to take them out. Maybe tomorrow.
