ALCARAFA, Thanks for the feedback. I just got back to town after a two month absence. Just got the motors in. Plan to use it in combo with a the 38mm folding prop spinner and the 10/6 precision folding prop... also ordered the turnigy PLUSH 25a speed control. I read somewhere that this motor could be run with either a two or three cell battery. Do you see any problems with the component match up? Bill

 ALCARAFA 305 points

10/6 and 3S lipo is the best combo, I use nanotech lipos 3S 25-50 C's with same ESC you ordered. That would be best choice, hope it helps Bill.

ALCARFA, One more thing. You seem to be familiar with the KDA motors.... I just got through examining the contents in one of the motor boxes. No written instructions comes with it to show the various mounting option etc. I have pretty much figured some of it out, but cannot for the life of me figure out what the three large "O" Rings are for....Also a little two part (?) black plastic something or other that has a place for the little set screw....but I figure that the set screw goes into the motor to keep the shaft from slipping. What is all of this stuff forr?????? Ha! Bill

 ALCARAFA 305 points

O rings and part with the two screws are used to mount propeller..its called prop saver. You have to insert vlack part in shaft .. tigh screws.. put prop and O ring goes from one screw end to the other over the prop.

ALCARAFA,

 ALCARAFA 305 points

in stock right now, better hurry up before it gets in back order again.

Yeah, I got a couple before they dropped out of stock again. I wonder if it will be 2014 before they get the next batch.

yes, you can

I bought 4 of these and put them on my Xaircraft 450 Quacopter with G.F. 10x4.7 carbon composite blades the vertical is absolutely insane!!! They are smooth and responsive. As good as some $40 to $50 motors I've owned. So the answer is yes get them for spare back-up's if nothing else.

Hello, I was in the same desitions than you, and i got the YAK54 EPP 3D Profile KIT, with this motor get unlimited vertical and make all the 3D, great plane with great motor. I recommend www.link

Es ist ein super Motor, hällt bis jetzt bereits schon 150 Flüge. 5*****

It depends on what you want to do. If you just want it for lifting your Salto when there is no wind and the turning it off then it is OK but it will be slow climb. I am using it on 1.3Kg glider it is OK. When the wind is blowing it does help.

perfecto para el park master consumos bajos y buena calidad precio

yes!! they are the same, they are great!

Hello, you can make it, but it is not really recommended because the engine is a little going to warm, what is going to reduce his lasted life . For the ESC it is slightly going to rise there temperature but without overheating .

What do you mean heavy? Seems your plane is not balanced well. Refer to manual according to C.G. position and adjust it with LiPo battery.

It is distributed with spinner and prop-saver and mount, connectors, two C-clips and spare shaft.

It pulls out about 700grams-150w-14amps but why use a slow flyer prop*perfect with zippy 2200 11.1 20c

 AlexSolo 151 points

Thanks EVANGELOS. I'm searching for motor with more than 1kg thrust for my co-axial octocopter.
10x4.7SF exists in both rotation directions and it's very powerful and robst.

 mhaast 5 points

i fly this engine on a mpx parkmaster 500 gram and pulls out vertical i think trust is 1 kg

I don't have this motor, I have the 36-12L and on that one the shaft can definitely be reversed. In addition, if you look closely at the picture it has a second groove on the shaft for the c-clip, this would also make me think that the shaft can be reversed on this motor as well.

 Wilhelm 256 points

It can be reversed. I did it on the "bigger" brother of this motor, the 22-20L. It's just a bit longer but the same motor. You have to take the c-clip of and push the shaft through. But take care not to loose the small washer between the c-clip and the bearing. You'll need it to pretension the bearing otherwise it will be screaming while running. Wilhelm

 Brendan 23 points

yes only if you useing it as a pusher prop motor

 vasy1 607 points

it is VERY tight in there. i was not able to get it out with-out motor damage. maybe you will have better luck.

 bobert38 5 points

I got it switched. It took more force to get the shaft out than I thought it would, but nothing broke and it works fine.

 Duncan 8 points

Yes it can

 Lynda 36 points

yes, it will have enough power. i used this motor on a 74 inch plane and it had vertical(weighed about 47oz) with a 11 by 7 APC E style prop, and 30 amp turnigy esc, and turnigy 25c 2200 3s. if you want to really have lots of power i would reccommend the NTM 900kv motor, the new one, that will definatley have more than enough power.

 Lynda 36 points

at full throttle, it drew 24.3 amps, and gave 50 oz of thrust. its amazingly strong for its weight of 89 grams. full throttle 315w.

 HARD DRYVE 12 points

Thanks for your advice, I think I'll go with the NTM 900kv.

 EVANGELOS 14 points

No it hasn't.Don't forget that the ult. is not a piper and it weights about 1200 gr You have to go for the KD A22-20L with about these output at least 10x5 APC-e *10.65V: 19.8A 8660rpm 1080g 60 km/h 18C 11x5.5 APC-e *10.65V: 24.1A 8120rpm 1240g 32C

Sorry but not sutebile fore that. U need a motor whit higher kv if u are going to runn a 6-5 propp. Im running this motor in my Jak54 900mm vingspan, 10-6 popp, unlimitid vertikal. WERY GOOD MOTOR BTW...

 glen 27 points

I use this motor on an hobbico up star and a old hobby lobby skimmer. 9x5 prop w/ 3s. rhino 1550mAh bat. ?watt. 27oz planes. get slow but vert performance. sorry just another 3s comment.

 glen 27 points

i bought this last fall and they did come with extras. what a deal!

 quesnes 154 points

Yes you will have all accessories a spare shaft

 glen 27 points

install in safe mount. in plane or on bench, in plane best. no prop. hook up leads to controler. plug controler to radio so you can power it up. apply power. if running the wrong way just switch any two wires. motor must be mounted, lots of tork. just enough power to turn motor.

 quesnes 154 points

Just connect the 3 wires. Then test the motor. If it turns wrong, just change 2 wires and it will be good.

The shaft can be removed by removing the set screw that holds the shaft to the case and carefully removing the snap ring at the opposite end of the motor. Place the motor housing on a stable surface that will allow you to gently tap out the shaft. Install the replacement shaft in the same manner and tighten the set screw and reinstall the snap ring. Usually placing the motor on a 10 mm socket will support the motor and give you the clearance to tap the shaft out. Take your time and tap gently!

 glen 27 points

remove the set screw and "c" clip at bearing. remove housing and shaft from windings, lot of magnet force but should just pull apart. then you need to tap shaft out of houseing. a little nerve racking but I did it to two w/ 100% positive out come.
drill hole in block of hard wood big enough for shaft to fit freely. best to do this on solid serface. dont let things bonce around or you lose force of blow. put shaft in hole in block of wood. back of houseing up. with medium size hammer tap shaft square on end. might take quit a blow to get it moving. use a punch to get it free of houseing. carefull to hit it square so you dont bend shaft. turn houseing over, tap shaft back in making sure its the right way. "c"clip slot in shaft needs to be at other end of housing. you need to tap shaft back in to just the right spot so when "c"clip is put in and windings inserted there is no binding. the magnet force helps with this.
sharp square hits with med hammer on solid serface w/ hard wood a must.

It's sold with a prop adapter you can fix on the rear of the motor (the opposite of the shaft on the picture). So you can have a propeler on the 2 sides.

 quesnes 154 points

You have an adapter which can be fixed on the back of the motor. No need to reverse the shaft

 BRUCE 8 points

A 3mm collet adapter worked very well for me.

Shaft reversal is no longer easy. Shafts now do not contain the second groove (for snap ring). I have successfully machined a second snap ring groove with a jeweler's file but I do not recommend doing it.
