Turnigy L3020B-600 Brushless Motor (800w)

 Lee Bonney 33 points

I've done shaft reversals on three Turnigy motors,
450, 500, & 600 size.

Because of the flat in the original shaft it's often not practical to just reverse it because obviously prop adaptors wont work if the shaft has a flat. The notched original shaft may seem reversible, but one needs to be cautious of fatigue cracks propogating. With a 600 class motor a cracked shaft could be highly dangerous!

The better approach is to go visit a plastic mould shop, & ask for ejector pins, these are ha

Depending on what you are looking to power. I run a 4s on the hobbyking 1800mm Super Cub, 3s might spin it to slowly, about 6000rpm.

sure. you can use a prop size up to 16x8. this will give you about 1.5kg static thrust, 5000rpm and 30amps. flying speed around 30mph. but there are better choices.

I'm contemplating building a quadcopter using four of these puppies. Lifting power will be awesome.

Should work as long as you can mount it, power wise it should handle it with 4s or 5s depending on prop choice. I run it on my 6ft Cub.

Yes, make sure to provide adequate ventilation to the motor as it will get hot with that setup.

Yeah, very good.

Depends how many cells you run. I run this motor on a 4s 14x10 to fly my 1870mm super cub.

Wat is the Flightwight of your Plan ?

Flying weight is around 5kg, correct? It could work but it's a little on the low side. look for a motor that could give you 1000W if I was you.

I'am useing this moto in place of an .040 size is great, power is awsome .

Hi, I have used this motor in a small 1.7 kg biplane on 6s battery. I can tell you that for your PC9 (I guess the .46 version) this won't be enough -especially on 4S- even with a 'scale' flying style. If you are looking something 'on budget' then, the NTM prop Drive 42 series would be a better fit (the 750kv on 4S with 12x8 or better the 500 kv with same prop).

- The 500kv with 6s pack- with 12x8 -

850kV instead of 600kV would potentially give a good chance to use smaller props.

Because you want to use a smaller propeller? The propellers make small diameter less than those of larger diameter. Normally using small propellers with big pitch on hi-speed models. On normal models fits the propeller largest checking with the wattmeter not exceed the parameters of the motor

plz someone post some power chart

100 watts per pound of weight is good for trainers and some "light" aerobatics.

150 watts per pound is good for all aerobatics to "light" 3-D flying.

200 watts per pound is pretty much unlimited power.

You can set up your planes for the way you fly.
