Title: Next its Futaba motors
Post by: Dennis Adamisin on May 13, 2011, 06:55:38 PM: More news from MOBA. First it was OS, and now its Futaba's turn

Unlike OS Futaba has a lot of background in electronics. This keeps getting better. Who's next? Saito with a 4-stroke outrunner???

LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~

Maybe an electronic style bellcrank like Kim D was showing off last year! 8)

All seriousness aside, the ESC's they show have a programming card, the motor is BIG, but it could be the beginning of a broader product offering?

The more I fly electric the more I really don't want to fly gas. Plus I can go to the park and fly and people stop to watch and complement us not complain about us. I look forward to hearing how these new motors perform and how much they cost.

Post by: Andrew Borgogna on May 23, 2011, 09:54:10 AM: I think this integrated approach is in line with what Eric Rule and John Brodak are doing with their turn key systems. I believe this acknowledges the fact that most fliers are not electrical engineers and don't want to do the research and testing to come up with a system that works. Let someone else spend the money, do the testing and produce a complete working system. I had a career in electronics and I still spent a fair amount of time and money coming up with workable systems. Oh ya, and thank heaven for Dennis Adimisin, without his help I would have spent a lot more money and a lot more time!
