Hello all. I am building a hovercraft this year and wondered if this set up would do the job. Any ideas gentlemen on which way to go. This would be for lift not thrust!!
Do you think if its a good idea to put TWO of these in a scratchbuilt 2-4kg plane, as it was a turbine like Boeings, or Airbuses? I mean on the wings, both sides.
Thanks
(BTW what speed can I expect?)
This is a great high powered motor, which I find very reliable BUT REMEBER THAT IF IT DOES NOT START, SWAP THE TWO OUTER WIRES, NOT THE MIDDLE ONE

I received 2 units. One starts up with the proper tones and works. The other beeps 3 times and stops, then will not control the motor at all. The esc from the other unit works this one ok, so it myst be the esc. I saw this mentioned in the review section. Has anyone had this problem?
Thanks! Throttle is OK. I can use the other esc/motor combo, and I can get this motor to work with the "good" esc, so there is something about this esc. I did put throttle up to enter programming to reset default values in case it was set to nicad, or something. no dice.
This system works well on most planes, and makes my home made plane (600g) go like a rocket - 100 mph from a 35cm long plane - I give it 5/5

Depends on how much the jet weighs but I can tell that one of this can produce over 2lbs of thrust so see if this is what u r looking for and u might have to balance the fan blade too
I have got another question: The two edf's are in a 75 mm housing. I get 1200g of thrust out of both together on the ground. Do i get more out of them if I "fill" the housing so its only 70mm?
I use a turnigy 3300mah 30c could it be that the bat can't provide enough power for both?
Thanks!
Hi I have put 2 of these in an A-10 and one is running faster than the other. (hast about 100g more thrust than the other) Any ideas what i could do so they produce the same thrust?
Thanks
Hi Murdoch,
Two thoughts.
1. Check out the manual. It can be found on the Files Tab of the page for this item. Confirm that the timing for both ESC's is the same. If not, then change them to be the same.
2. Set your system up so the two ESC's are driven by different radio channels. Adjust the rates until the thrust is the same for each motor.
Keep it at 45 or less amps and 4 cell lipo at most.you can burst over that but your taking a gamble.ive used this esc and itll pump out strong strong power all day long at 45 amps without overheating.the only limiting factor is the fan itself.
i have this one but didn't get any instruction how to programe regulator Does Anybody know? Could U send any information where i can find this instruction? thanks a lot
I have this setup and the motor itself is out of balance. The orange metal piece on the rear can be seen spinning out of balance. It causes a lot of vibration, noise and heat. I don't know how to fix this!!! Please help.
The Freewing 70dia is rated at only 880-950g, not the 1200g listed for this one. So, i hope to upgrade my Freewing 64dia 600g jet with this, and get at least 800g thrust.
Quesnes, what sort of model do you have it installed in? as I am thinking of putting one (or two maybe!) into an MPX ultra jet which come in at 875gm with a normal prop setup so If you have 1kg then it will really go
after breaking the fan in. this unit runs smooth. Using it retrofitted in a old kyosho t33 and its about 1:1 thrust ratio and thats with a horrible exhaust tube.
