Motor for classic stunt?
« on: September 09, 2011, 11:55:27 AM »
Would this be a good motor for classic stunt?
AMA 64232

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

No, you want to use a Fox .35.

I think that motor was put into production about the same time the Fox 35 was.

You're gonna need a battery of the same vintage, I'd strongly recommend something with a lead-acid chemistry, a 2S1P Volkswagen pack will give you around 12 volts... and plenty of capacity.  You'll have to build super light to make up for the weight penalty of the ~70 lb. pack (CG adjustments should be easy).

Using your motor and the above recommended battery should yield max authenticity points but, once in the air, don't go inverted.  The spilled electrolyte will wreak havoc on your finish, the judges, your helper, onlookers.
