    Jim, Glad to see the Calc up and running again. Gonna try the 10x10 prop now and see if I can get some more fwd speed out of the motor. Frank PS I was reading over some old emails about flight times. Many people had doubted you could actually get 30 minutes of flight time at 40 mph on a...

    Need Assistance In Motor Selection Please!

    Thanks for the heads up. That is the only motor myself and a number of RCGers could find that could handle a 4s battery in that weight range besides a Neu motor and I was lost trying to figure out what was best with the Neus let alone order one. So it was pretty much this or nothing at all so...

    Jim, Do you know when you calculator will be back up and running? I'd like to see what the numbers are using a 10x10e with a 490 KV motor using a 4s 2200 battery. Thanks, Frank

    Idea! Model Aviation X PRIZE. Why isn't There One? Let's Make One

    If we can come up with some great suggestions I am not against trying to get the X PRIZE sponsored. After all, if it promotes model aviation, I'm all for it. Then we could probably even get some monies for anyone that reaches the goal (whatever it turns out to be). I think this would a great...

    Idea! Model Aviation X PRIZE. Why isn't There One? Let's Make One

    As you guys know, I am always looking at ways to promote model aviation. And here is something that may help. I'm sure you have all heard of the X PRIZE, but if not, check this out; http://www.xprize.org/ Now, after reading that, why can't model aviation have an X PRIZE? Shouldn't we have...

    Since I hate it when people never follow up on their threads, and we lose valuable info, here is an update. I got the gearbox in, and 11x8.5 prop in the mail. The motor should arrive today and I can start doing some flight testing shortly after that. I am expecting at least 40 minute flight...

    Become A Model Aviation Mentor. Help Others In Our Sport!

    Email received and thanks! I think you are our first multirotor mentor. I had to come up with a different icon to distinguish you from the airplanes and helicopters. I couldn't really find a good one. Perhaps I can locate one on the WWW. Thanks again, Frank

    As always, we can use more MA mentors. Please let me know if you are willing to help and I will add you to our map. I know it takes a lot to leave the security of a PC and step out in the real world to help newcomers. And even if you feel you cannot contribute much, some help is better than no...

    Jim, Thanks for the explanation on how to figure out the gear ratio for your calculator. I was playing with that the other morning and I didn't know how to do it on there. That's definitely good to know especially know. I heard back from Ken and he is too busy to wind a custom motor for us...

    Need Assistance In Motor Selection Please!

    Understand and that may be the way we go. If Ken can't do what we need, I'll ramp up my search again for a geared system. The only decent geared system that I could find was using a 3s though. Neu motors makes the best geared systems on anything higher but they are extremely expensive. :(...

    I agree with your direct drive rationale. If possible, it would be much simpler to go with that. I'll contact Ken shortly and see what he can do. Thanks again and as always, appreciate the prompt assistance and info. Frank
