I am installing the same on mine.
Title: Re: Phoenix Trainer EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: bokilap on October 30, 2010, 04:03:25 PM Does this motor have front mounting holes?
If not then how to mount this motor on this plane? Redesign the motor mount? or reverse the shaft? If reverse the shaft, then what is the correct procedure? Sorry i am a newbie, lots of questions :help: Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: majraj on October 30, 2010, 04:13:20 PM http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=3886
This is a better motor. Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: Drone on October 30, 2010, 04:25:21 PM May be you didnt keep in mind the cost.
$14.95 and $25.20 Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: majraj on October 30, 2010, 05:02:03 PM You may want to keep this in your options.

Thanks for the highlight. How exactly does one do the performance comparision here? I could not make out much difference from the spec (ofcourse the KV). Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: CrazyPilot on December 22, 2010, 09:03:28 PM Sorry for the delay but here are the pics after 10 or so flights.

Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: pvn2000 on December 22, 2010, 10:12:20 PM Isnt the motor on pilatus a lill overpowered for it
Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: CrazyPilot on December 22, 2010, 10:21:02 PM NO. The extra power compensates the big battery weight.
Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: spitfire on January 20, 2011, 01:20:02 PM @ crazypilot: where do you get those motor mounts used in your both planes...? Did they come along with ARF or you purchased them separately..?
Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: CrazyPilot on January 20, 2011, 01:39:07 PM Sir, I purchased them separately but they also come with motors and are available at HobbyKing too. A wide variety of mounts are available on HK for every type of plane and use. Thx
Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: sandeepm on January 20, 2011, 01:54:58 PM Hi Crazy Pilot,
Dont you think that the Tail wheel system is mounted in wrong way? Check the att. pic.. sorry for bad editing.. i think it should go this way... Sandeep Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: CrazyPilot on January 20, 2011, 03:58:05 PM yep. but its mounted that way to gain height. Thx
Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: sandeepm on January 20, 2011, 08:27:59 PM ok, but unable to under stand how it will gain height.... :headscratch: :headscratch:
Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: CrazyPilot on January 21, 2011, 08:10:59 AM Actually if i mount it like the way u suggested, i dont know how but plane's tail is lowered than the way i have mounted it. hope this helps. Thx
Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: sandeepm on January 21, 2011, 09:57:45 AM i am not much technical about Aerodynamics, but logically i can think that lower tail side will give you a easy lift while take off. also during landing if something stuck like grass in the spring of landing gear may break the rudder. if you really want to increase the tail height i would suggest you to correct the landing gear as suggest by me and bend the landing gear wire a little to increase the height. It will look real also.
i wish if i could make the stearable tail gear in my Pliatus... Sandeep Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: CrazyPilot on January 21, 2011, 12:44:51 PM i wish if i could make the stearable tail gear in my Pliatus... Sandeep Sandeep Sir, Check this out (http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/9606/hy025011011.th.jpg) (http://img524.imageshack.us/i/hy025011011.jpg/) http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4349 Someone has put this in his Slow Stick. so i dont see why it cant be used in Pilatus? Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: sandeepm on January 21, 2011, 01:05:43 PM that's the problem....design of pilatus tail part is weird
it will not give you way to put this system as for this there should be a gap in the tail wing so that the steering assembly can be inserted in the rudder, which is possible in Pilatus if i cut the tail wing in two half and give some gap in the center, like the one others have. Sandeep Title: Re: Phoenix Classic EP Balsa Wood from FLYRC Post by: CrazyPilot on January 21, 2011, 11:41:17 PM Sir, i will try to cut the tail wing in my model as u suggested. lets see how it ends up.
