Q: Does this have auto level

Asked by fishmanpuffer on 2018-07-22 02:21:28

Donald fishmanpuffer, the modes under the listed features are: 2. Three Flight Modes supported:  a. Rate Mode, Rate Mode for offset correction. (This is the mode used to correct for wind and is called the NORMAL mode in some other stabs.)  b. Hold Mode, HOLD mode for attitude hold. (This mode is used to HOLD whatever attitude your plane is in when you let go of the sticks. It may be level or NOT.)  c. Gyro Off Mode, transmitter control the plane directly. (This is the MANUAL mode where there is no stabilization.) I recommend you always have the MANUAL mode easily selectable and start with it when you takeoff. Once you are high enough, select one of the stabilized modes. All should be well if your setup was correct but be ready to select MANUAL mode if they are not.

Q: how many watt?

Asked by Fornosi on 2023-03-29 10:50:00

Donald Watts are Volts time Amps pulled. To answer your question you need to provide the battery voltage you will use and the load, i.e. the prop diameter and pitch, and its expected amp draw. Of course the retailer should have already provided a chart with the recommended props for the voltages this motor can handle. Since they don't, it's up to you to guess that and hope you're right!

Donald Brushless motors wires do not have polarity like brushed motors. The 3 wires alternately pulse each set of magnets inside the motor acting more like AC current, not DC current. As already mentioned, swapping any 2 of the 3 wires changes direction of the motor. Some ESC programmers can also do that without changing wires.

Donald Most BL motors can spin in either direction by changing any 2 of the 3 wires powering it. But if the motor spins the same direction as the prop nut, the nut will eventually spin itself off the prop shaft unless you use a Nyloc nut or secure the nut after it's on so that it cannot move unless you remove the wire or the clevis pin. Some use a second nut over the first but a liquid like Locktite should be used in that case.

Q: Can I use a 6s batterie with this motor?

Asked by ismaelbiber on 2020-09-19 06:06:30

Donald The specs only show up to 4S. You will most likely burn up the motor is you use a battery higher than 4 cells.

Donald The flat spot is for the gear to be as shown in the picture ad. If you rotate the strut, the flat spot will not be engaged and the entire strut and wheel will rotate very easily. ONLY USE as shown in the ad.

Q: Does it dupport bidirectional DShot for RPM filtering?

Donald To answer MediaProductionNM's comment on why would you even need something like bidriectional support, people use REVERSE in cars, boats, and even planes for water taxiing, or to stop a plane after landing.

Donald The strut will have a flat spot at the end where it inserts into the retract trunnion. That flat spot is where the grub or set screw goes to hold the strut in the retract. If you turn the strut 90 degrees, that flat spot will no longer be where the grub screw is. The grub screw will tighten down on a round part of the strut and not be as solid. It will allow the strut and wheel to rotate. If you want a retract that swings out towards the wingtips or in to the center of the plane, this will probably work. If you need the retract to swing forward or aft of the longitudinal axis of the plane, look for that retract which this is not.
