Fantastic work! That is going to be one cool model.

 

[Pantherman]

That looks like it will work out nicely.

Hope so, electric is not my thing. I'm more of a plug and play guy. Pantherman

Sweet!

Did you glue it with epoxy or CA?

 

[urumomo]

Are you using a speed control for the motor ?

 

[TimM63]

Of course not. He wants to see it fly. LOL

CA for the motor to the base plate. Pantherman

 

[Pantherman]

Of course not. He wants to see it fly. LOL

Funny you should say that. I have been thinking that this little motor on full power will hit 50000rpm (according to spec) so if revell do a good copy of the blades???? PM

 

[Bear43]

Probably want to hide behind a safety shield just in case....lol

If you type in hollow cup drone motor it should be one of the first to appear. Pantherman

You're the man!

You're the man!

No worries. What are you thinking of fitting the motor in? Pantherman

You will need 20mm long x 8mm wide space for these motors but they also do a 8mm long x 4mm wide type if head space is tight. Pantherman

I have been waiting for the motor to arrive so I have finally managed to fit it in place. Not very pretty yet but that's all going to be tidied up when I get the rotor shaft firmly fixed in place. Next I need to stick the wiring to the inside of the outer airframe and leave it ready to bring through the floor and down the landing skids. Pantherman

Outer airframe and tail primed and ready for top coats. I'm doing this build slightly differently by getting some top coat on before joining it all up. Then I can make good any joins and do a final top coat. Not sure how well this will work but it's worth a try. Pantherman
