I've used the Arrowind 2820/920 on a 54 oz plane turning a 3 blade 11.5 carbon prop.  Pulled OK but the bearings didn't last very long even though it was front mounted.  I also use an Arrowind 2826 turning a pusher 12x6.  Probably the better choice with the 12x6.

Hi Kevin,

What happened to the original BT 3548 motor? That is a nice size of motor for your model. It weighs 160 grams so it is in between the Arrowind 2820 (.40 size) and the 2826 (.55-.60 size)

A good replacement is the Cobra 2826/10 which is a close copy of the AXI 2826/10 and weighs 171 grams so it is a medium size motor and will fly your model well turning an APC 12 x 6 E prop.

What Happened? had a nose over wreck.
I all ready have a Brodak 3548 I will use it w/11.5 x 6 APCE Thanks for the info.
Be out flying it on Monday.

It the RPMs of the motor drop below a cretin point the KR timer will  stop the run.   If your battery is getting hot that is not good.  Could be your setup is overloading everything.   You need an inline amp meter  to see how much current you are drawing.   Also running the setup on the ground is not a good thing.  We are running our setups at there upper limit.  When you launch an aircraft the motor unloads and the current drops to a safe level.  I smoked a perfectly good motor by running it on the ground.  Mounting the ESC  on the fuselage should not be a problem.   Install a very small prop and see if you a full time run.  Electric is fun when it works,  a big mystery when it does't.

PS make sure the motor is not rubbing on anything.

In addition to the above, 3.7v is getting low unless there is a 4+ following the 7.  My typical end of flight voltage is 3.73(+) and after setting several minutes 3.75(+).  That is close to 80% use.  Did you hit low voltage cutoff?  When was that voltage measured?  Batteries also get warm is overdrawn.

3.70-3.69-3.70-3.70 about 5 minutes after shut down. Lipo cut-off at 3.2v. Rpm never slowed just stopped.
Now I know not to bench test anymore. Thanks everyone for the input.
