Turnigy L2205-1350 Brushless Motor (100w)

 Vbrugman 22 points

I always use an other motor of an other brand but i can reconmend like an 7x6 or an 8x3.8 i use the 8x3.8 on the Swift II of MsComposite.

si quieres una buena potencia,sobre todo en dias de viento,ya que es critico en una vuelta para enfentar el viento te recomiendo el turnigy www.link va a dar muchas satisfacciones,sin perder fuerza sobre todo,saludos

I think this engine is somewhat limited. But for that airplane, should do well. If you can buy this, is a little better :) Turnigy L2206A-1650 Brushless Motor www.link

Hey neca79, the item you had suggested is actually what I ended up going with in the end. Already have the order flying over to me. :)

How does your plane go mdem5059? I'm just awaiting the last bits to build the same plane with the same motor. I will however drive it on 3s lipos as I found my Pearl (a bit smaller and lighter) is a bit limited on 2s.
Cheers...

 mdem5059 7 points

I still have yet to finish building it. Been super busy lately and the box the plane came with was missing some parts, so instead of the ****py wood pieces for the elevator puzzle i decided to get the pieces from the Merlin from towerhobbys. Tried to get the items from HK but they just pushed around stupid emails wanting me to do a million things for $0.50 worth of items.

 neca79 297 points

Yes, very good, and still have good power

 nigel 22 points

u must try a prop with a different pitch, this motor is suited for slow flyer props as the kv is somewhat low

 MustBeMattyXD 1 points

see i thought that but still gave poor performance and got very hot

 neca79 297 points

Hello, yes it is good but it is better to have 3s *)

 colibri 4 points

but if i don´*t have a 3 cel lipo... bigger prop for more trust?

 ENRIQUE GUILLERMO 17 points

hola ,no importa que sea de 2s ,anda muy bien,solo que para mayor rendimiento tendrias que tener o adquirir una lipo de mayor amperaje ,por ejemplo de 1600 ma te dara mayor amplitud de vuelo sin dañ*ar la bateris,saludos

hola Enrique, vives en mé*xico??

 neca79 297 points

Hello the price is better to buy a new engine :)

This is a motor, it runs on electricity. Engines run on gas or other fuel... just sayin'

 iwojima1 33 points

yes thats true. and do you know about motor with the same params but with wider shaft????

 Thiago 1 points

I use a 18 20 amp esc with it. With a 3 cell battery and a 80-45 prop, i belive it pulls more than 12 amps at least.

 Daymo 13 points

Consider a 3s Battery. Lowest voltage should be 9.3V. 100watt motor. P=VI or Power = Voltage x Current. or P/V=I therefore 100/9.3 = 10.75 amps. Theroeticly possible if you did not run it at 100% for more than the burst time of your ESC. I wouldn't suggest it though if you can avoid it because running a larger ESC will help prevent it melting on you and letting the tightly packed smoke out. It's amazing how much they fit in there. I personally run an 18amp ESC with this motor no probs.

Hello It depends where you 're goin to fly... indoor / outdoor... The maximum for indoor is 400/450Mah (2s) and outside up to 850Mah (2 or 3 s) Just be carefull of the size battery/ compartement battery and also remember lighter it is, better it is ! Of course it also depned of your plane/heli specs *-) Have a lokk on the top-right on HK website you have a topic about "Undertsanding Lipo"

 Gary 2962 points

Do you want to use a fixed or a folding prop?

 dhruv 103 points

It is correct.

 Dimon 38 points

And how many volts corresponds this 0.3A?

 Rober-t 66 points

I use it with a 8x4.5" Maxxprod Prop and have very good Performance with it. If you don't go Full-Throttle all the time it may handle a 9x4 Prop as well without overheating.

 Rober-t 66 points

8x4.5inch on 3S is a proven and good working combination here. On 2S i'd suggest around 10" but it will be hard to reach 350g then..

 acetech09 19 points

How much amperage does this thing suck with an 8x4?

 aeronautical 71 points

anyone found out the amp draw on 8x4 3s set up?

 Ken 9 points

I will be setting up a test bench soon. I have this motor and a few props, just need a few more things and the time to run it all and I will post all test results here... Fly to live *)

 dhruv 103 points

I think the prop is too big or you must use an 18 A ESC.

 Katrine 30 points

You are drawing too much current through the motor. Lower the voltage of the battery, or pick a smaller prop

 shadinho16 3 points

www.link this propeller need other adaptero or work good?

 acetech09 19 points

You should be able to get 1880 grams of thrust from 4 of these motors and a large prop, but you will have to get large batteries to power four of these.

 acetech09 19 points

I just drew some averages from other 100 watt motors. I'm using a benchmark of .2 ohms.

 Andrea 6 points

I think a 10x4,7 is maximum you can use.

 Climber48 32 points

I use a 8x4,5 with 3s is perfect

 methuso 95 points

I would pick a motor with higher KV and smaller prop that gives 60-100pcnt of the models weight in thrust. But thats only my opinion.
You could use this.

 Kellyann 16221 points

Roberto it is a bit smaller then I like but YES. For a glider it puts out almost 450g of thrust. It will do fine. I hope this helps

 geeze 9 points

When we first started flying electrics, more than 15 years ago, batteries and motors were just adequate to sustain flight. We learned that the minimum powre to weight for flight is about 30 watts per pound. I flew two 7lb airplanes at 60 watts per lb, more than adequate for sustained flight. Today power loading in the range of 70 to 200 watts per lb is common.

So your 600 gram plane will fly if you can provide it with more than 75 watts of power..........but you will have little power to spa

 rc speed 276 points

No you need to buy prop for this motor. motor shaft is 2.3 mm credit me if you like this answer

 Kellyann 16221 points

Shane the shaft has a thread. You place the washer (SEE PICTURE) on the shaft. Place prop on then lock nut (SEE PICTURE). The washer rest on a shoulder on the shaft. I hope this helps

 RedRanger 7 points

If you mean the orange coloured slow fly props by GWS in the 8", 10" range, then yes they do with the supplied washer and nylok nut.

 roberted5 104 points

A GWS DD prop is not the same as a GWS RD prop.
GWS uses the letters RD,means reduction drive,on their slow fly props.

 Tim 11 points

This can hold your order for days, weeks or even months, we as customers just can't control that. If the motor is not that important, you can contact HK and delete the item, That will speed things up

 Tim 11 points

It doesn't come with the screws for mounting the motor. You can use the screws that come with servos to mount them on wood planes if you are not screwing them down

 MikeMDR 24 points

Sorry, I didn'see, that male are already solded!!

 Robachan 1087 points

Motor with leads only 27g, with goodies, total 31g, not 50g.

 Maciej 33 points

I GOT MINE WITH ALL CONNECTORS.

MALE ON THE MOTOR SIDE FACTORY SOLDERED.

FEMALE FOR THE ESC.

THIS ENGINE IS REALLY DECENT MADE - NO PLAY IN BEARINGS.

BE SURE TO TOP UP YOUR GREASE ... LET US SAY TWICE A YEAR (DEPENDING ON FLIGHT TIME)
