I used a Turnigy plus 12A ESC and it worked great on my profile 3D yak. I dont know the weight but its about 20% bigger than a crack yak

 waynemia 470 points

No, that would just be 1.6lbs of thrust if you maximized the output of the motors.

 waynemia 470 points

Use an ammeter and measure the current at WOT. That will tell you all you need to know.

 roberted5 104 points

A 9 by 5 on 3S will cook motor on your Yak 32.On 2S it'll be fine and it will fly it with plenty of power,but the Yak 32 likes the 8 by 4.3 better on 2S. If you go to rcgroups the most used prop on Yak 32" 3D foamies is the GWS 8 by 4.3RD prop. For indoors most use 2S 25C 460's,outdoors 3S 25C 460's to get through 15mph winds. Turnigy nanotechs will have a much higher C rate,plus they are lighter.Great Li-Po's

I have built a few of the lead feather yak's and I agree with your view on going one prop size larger than the 8x4. I have built 2 for guys at our club using the cheap hextronix 24 gram brushless out runner - think its 1300KV with a 9x4.7 slow flyer prop. Try the hextronix motor its great. I use 500mA 3s zippy compacts 35c and a HK 10A ESC - lots and lots of thrust.

 roberted5 104 points

It's a 3mm shaft for sure.I use 3mm prop adapters,savers and replacement bearings with a 3mm ID made by Scorpion and they fit perfect.

What ESC you have and which battery? Try with 2S first. Also try to change medium or high timing for this engine. Also check that your battery is in good shape, fully charged and your esc counts number of cells corretly. I have same motor and it works great with 8x4.3 prop. Your 7x5 should be ok too.

 mgaz_infoph 6 points

actually blueocean2 the motor started respondingg smoothly with a 7x5 prop when i tested it again after posting my question. to give more detail of my set-up im using a "Rhino 610mAh 3S 11.1v 20C Lipoly Pack", ive read on the manual that the esc was suppose to "BIP" the number of times of the number of cell installed, my pack is 3S but the esc gives 4 beeps every time i connect it to the esc and turn on the TX. How do you change timing? my ESC is a "H-KING 10A Fixed Wing Brushless Speed Controler" Ive consulted the manual but havent got the hang of its witten intructions yet, i'm asian* maybe i dont undestand english very well. :-)

 dannfive0 29 points

The first beep could just be powering up. Sometimes you get a beep then 3 short beeps, that's 3S.

Another thing to check when the motor doesn't spin but seems to quickly oscillate back and forth spasmodically in just a few degrees of rotation is the motor to ESC connections, With only 2 out of 3 wires connected that is the behavior I have seen. It is also a reason it repairs it self when swapping around the hardware and another reason to triple check the solder joints and such so it doesn't occur mid flight.

 Jake 3 points

It doesn't matter the order you put the wires in. After you plug in the wires and it goes the opposite direction you want, switch any two wires and it goes the other direction. Hope this helped

 Rotatory 17 points

you only know brushed motors but that is a Brushless motor so you need a special Esc for brushless motors. You can find it under ESc,Ubec,VR.
(give credit to the answer, please)

 Yak-18T 8 points

its really just a guess and check sort of thing, you wont hurt the motor if you plug it in the wrong way, just change any two wires and the direction of rotation will reverse.

 Jake 3 points

The Wonder BLue 1500 is 1500kv. So if the guy recommended the right power system,this motor should do the job.

 tasajara 19 points

Yes that motor would be the same. 10 amp SS esc works good. But you could use the 12 amp if you like. I run these motors on 1300mAh with an 8x4 HD prop I have used 2100mAh but it will make the plane heavy. And I have used as small as 500mAh on a 3D plane with about 6 min run time.

 Victor.Shore 23 points

in a delta wing of 400g with 18 amp and 7x5 prop, run very good, low kv and low weight

 1sgrdszemcsak 6 points

Use it for 24 to 38 inch foamies. use 8x4 prop 1000ma 11.1v battery flys great.

 Kevin 3 points

only use on 2s applications 3s will burn it up
also I am using it on a 12oz slow flyer with a plush 12 amp and its about maxed out

 waynemia 470 points

3S will not burn it up. You just need to prop it so you do not pull too much current,

 TheManDK 5 points

Or at least a speed400?

 Crash Test 16 points

Yes. It does the same or more work than a speed 400.
But at a lower rpm and bigger prop. Aprox 7/5. So it works well with a 550gram plane using a 3s lipo. I use this motor for park jet F117 and my 24" saucers. Enjoy.

 TheManDK 5 points

Hmm... If I wanted a motor that is equivalent to a speed 400 in rpm and prop size, what should I select?

 Crash Test 16 points

Hmm, what plane and weight? This will cruise: KD A22-10S Brushless Outrunner Motor sold here.
Or: GH2212-06 V2 Brushless Outrunner Motor by Grayson Hobby. Wicked with a 6X4 prop. & 3s. (Flew this motor today on my wing.) Just depends on type of plane and weight consideration.

 vitaswww 5 points

What timing select for this motor?
Prop 8x4 2s.

 roberted5 104 points

A 3S 1000 is too heavy.Most use a 2S 460 or 3S 460 on a GWS 8 by 4.3 RD or 8 by 4DD prop.This motor can't handle an APC 8" prop.

 udaypraveen 36 points

thank you for your reply roberted5.I want to know the difference between GWS prop and APC prop as you said this motor cant handle APC 8" prop but can handle GWS 8*4DD prop

 roberted5 104 points

GWS.Grand Wing Design brand,props are more,thinner,flexible and light so they draw less amps.
APC is another brand,close to #1 and is not available here,but at Tower Hobbies and are 3-4 times as costly.
They are much stiffer and stronger making your motor pull more amps and over-heating motor.

 udaypraveen 36 points

roberted5 i wanted to know that whether can i use a 8*3.8 SF prop on this motor.my complete setup is 33inch 3d indoor flyer and GWS DD7*3.5 prop im using a 3s 450mah battery.7*3.5 is giving very less power and wanted to convert from 7*3.5 to 8*3.8SF should i use a 2s 450mah or 3s 450mah.please help me with this.Thank you

 roberted5 104 points

Turnigy nano-tech 2S 25C 460 should be plenty for indoors.
Higly suggest to join rcgroups it's full of info on the 2730 and 3D foamies.

 christiano 76 points

só* se for pra ela correr que nem o satanas

 Ruslan 58 points

I also waited because it is an engine that is worth is very economical and strong my models is approximately 450g and I use this motor with a Turnigy esc of the 20th and a 3s 1300mAh battery, a battery life of 15 minutes flight

 Bernd 8 points

but its a great motor! :-))

 clickthepirate 5 points

what size plane is it on and what type of flying are you doing? it sounds like you are using too much battery, weight wise, I fly mine on a 6 oz foamie and use a 500 MAH 3s Turnigy battery, my flight times are 6-8 mins. I don't think thrust is your problem, weight seems to be a larger issue

 ifhi1 6 points

i want to make f22 fomie wing is 28 inch and 39 inch and total weight is 500 gram with the all things

 Matias Rodrigo 4 points

Muy buenos resultados, lo mejor de este motor es que funciona con cualquier helice que tengas teniendo en cuenta el rendimiento porsupuesto.Yo lo uso en un modelo de 160g con un ESC de 8 a 10amp y baterias de 7,4 360/500/800mah, es un motor muy eficiente y economico con una pequña bateria se puede volar casi 10 minutos.

 __Hugo 6 points

This motor is commonly known as the "Red Wonder". It used to be blue. The 2730 1500KV is by far the most versatile motor for scratch-built foamies. The motor, paired with a Hobbyking SS Series 8-10A ESC, and a GWS 8x4 SF prop will be the perfect setup for your F22. I have this on my Dekan (rcgroups) F22 and it's sweet. Good luck.

 ifhi1 6 points

bro i order 12 amp esc and 7x3.5 Propeller what u think its work?

 roberted5 104 points

I like the Turnigy 12amp Plush E 2Amp/BEC and it's plenty for a 8 by 4 DD prop on a 3S.
A Turnigy 10amp 2amp BEC will work and I am using one on a 3S Li-Po and 8 by 4 DD right now,but the 12amp Plush E has a much more solid throttle response.

 vernm 8 points

I use this motor on a 32" EPP YAK55 it works fine. the differance is I use a 8x4.3 prop and a 3 cell 800ma 20C battery.

 p51p51 44 points

A 7x3.5 prop is generally a speed prop. It would not help. We also use a 8x4.3 prop but use throttle management as it will easily pull more than the recommended 8a max. The 7x6 sf also pulls around 12a. Try the 2730-1300 and a 9050 I think you will like it better and your battery will last longer too!!

 roberted5 104 points

I use a GWS 8 by 4DD with my 3D EPP foamie but the 8 by 4.3 is more popular.I use the nano-tech 3S 460's and get 7 minutes of outdoor 3D flying.
My 32 weighs right at 7.5oz AUW.I use a Turnigy 12 amp Plush E ESC.
I have unlimited vertical and can hover at 5/8 throttle.

 roberted5 104 points

Can you buy parts for this motor here at HK?E-clips,spacers,bearings and prop savers that fit the 3mm shaft?

 Dariusz 11 points

I have this motor. The band are standard size. You can fix GWS proppeler up to 8x4.

 p51p51 44 points

The approx inside dia. is 14mm. You can order part# 18-00301x10 or RBand-21M They stretch so either one will fit.

 roberted5 104 points

The bands are just automotive seals for A/C unit lines or brake lines seals.Also called O-Ring seals and you can buy them in many sizes and thicknesses from any auto-parts store.

 roberted5 104 points

That's very close to what I got using same prop and 3S 40C Li-Po.

 coinworker 6 points

9x5dd is the best bet

 roberted5 104 points

I'm using the 8 by 4DD and nano-tech 3S 460's in the Leadfeather 32" planes and get 6 minutes of strong 3D outdoor flight.The company below is selling very nicely cut kits for 30.00 each and takes care of his customers.
****fancyfoam**** sells most of Leadfeather's designs now.

it works but battery should be under 1000 mah !

 thomasito 107 points

Why under 1000 mah?

 waynemia 470 points

You don't have to limit the battery capacity for the motor. The weight of the battery is related to the wing loading of the plane. You can use 1000mAh or more as long as the wing loading allows the plane to fly as you want. The motor, prop, voltage combination is going to develop a specific amount of thrust. This needs to be adequate for the type of flying you want to do. A glider typically needs to be able too climb to altitude a few times and enough power to fly the glider back to the ground. You should limit the battery capacity to what you need for a flight. If 600mAh will do the job, it is a waste to carry more.

 RcHobby 23 points

This engine is for max 250 gr slow fliers over that can be problem !

 tonybooger 193 points

Are you still having this issue? I did as well and found and fixed the issue. If so let me know and I will try to explain.

I am curious if you are mainly getting the sound when using a 3cell battery???

 roberted5 104 points

The allen screws in front of motor can come lose and your magnets to pull away from stator.
If you can pull on the prop the outside of motor exposes stator,That'll make niose at full throttle,your prop is pulling the outside of your motor away from the magnetic field,plus your bearing are getting a load from behind on them.
It can be fixed,I nosed in a few motors and that will cause the same problem.

 Dan 26 points

Yes it does.

 davi 30 points

yes. It`s a powerfull motor, comes with prop saver, mount, heat shrink and connectors

 Ikarus 99 51 points

comes so as shown.

 turkeylord 35 points

Yes, it does... Though I used one of these in my foamy: www.link

 Dan 26 points

I run mine on two cell.. what timiming is your esc set at?

 tonybooger 193 points

What timing Should it be set at on a 2cell? Mines on 'High', it was flying awesome, but Im now experiencing loss of power, and its nowhere near as powerfull as when I first started using it(2weeks ago)

 roberted5 104 points

Low-timing on this motor,whether 2S or 3S.

 waleed 52 points

dos this Brushless motor work with a 15A ESC .

 schoolbus 6 points

I am Having the same problem. Checked
polarity of magnets,they ar all the same. Is that correct or should they
alternate.

 akent 38 points

I found that the ESC timing needs to be set to 'medium' for these motors to run well. The Turnigy ESC's that I have came set to low timing, which made these motors stutter.

 ifhi1 6 points

i have same prob with with this motor,i have hk 6ch transmitter and my prob is in the transmitter trottle veriable check your transmitter veriable it is connect properly with your therotle stick

 brad65ford 59 points

I as others are having the same shutter startup problem with is motor running many different esc's. Seems like the magnets are over kill and cause the motor not able to start easily. They changed from a year ago. It's a shame.

 roberted5 104 points

It's called cogging,all brushless motors cog,but having 16 magnets in a NSNS.. configuration,cause it to cog more.
The older verion didn't have 16 magnets,but this motor is more powerful.
I run my motors w/o prop 2-3 times for 3-4 minutes.It does help bearing throw out grease and loosen up motor.Then I prop it.

 waynemia 470 points

*waleed - this is an 8A motor max. Use any ESC you like that is 10A or more.
