Overview

Peace of mind is priceless and modelers who value it most choose E-flite® brushless motors. Just ask anyone who’s flown with them. E-flite brushless motors consistently provide the kind of power and reliability that transform a modeling experience—no matter what you’re flying. Whether you’re a sport modeler or scale master, E-flite has the brushless power system to truly realize your plane’s full potential.

The E-flite Power 360 brushless electric motor is designed to deliver clean and quiet power equivalent to or surpassing the power of a 360-size 2-stroke glow engine for sport and scale airplanes weighing 15 to 40 pounds (6.8 to 11.0 kg), 3D airplanes up to 25 pounds (8.28 kg), or models requiring up to 6000 watts of power.

speechless on the price point. About 1/2 price of other motors on the market. Wow!

I might have to build an electric 50-60cc plane. When i build the .60e Beast i'll have plenty of 6s 5000s.

You're thinking the same thing I'm thinking... and I've already got a few batts already from my 74" Edge...

OMG the survey code is still valid. Must resist the pre-order... must resist...

gyro dont mention stuff like that. i want to do a 50cc super decathlon....i think this might be the perfect cheap power plant for it. ive got loads of 6s5000 packs for 50ccer

I closed the window at the last second... gotta think this thru.
I am getting another 50cc plane this fall (3dhs 92" Edge) and it is SWEET on electric power. (I flew Noll's on the Hacker with 12s5000)

<-------------pictured here

and it was nice... but only 4:30 flight time.... and I can't charge at the field.

Still, for $306 shipped... what a deal!

ive got all those areas covered...and i kinda appreciate the short flight time. lets me focus super hard for a short amount of time, reload, and get back at it

well, I guess it's 1/2lb heavier than the hacker, which isn't that bad... the extra metal should absorb some of the heat and help with cooling, right?

i was just thinking it was perfect for a decathlon because its cheap, should be more than enough power, the extra weight will help with balance and battery placement, and its a freaking huge plane for its power plant size so it wont feel the extra weight at all.
