[KRAZY KAT]

I will Don as soon as the wiiiifeee finds my camara. I took my arc motor out to put in the 2700 kv motor and it is alot lighter and very quick. Very happy with the speed control and the motor set up. Wait till this weekend when i am flying with my stryker buddies... OOOOOOOOOOOO boy are they in for a big suprise.....

[KRAZY KAT]

Hey Don some pictures of my Funjet. I ran it with 3 and 4 cells. I love the 4 cell.... :D :D

[KRAZY KAT]

Hi Don, just recieved my 5400kv motor and adapter. I strip out the set screw. Can i just order the adapter and set screw????? Thanks

[KRAZY KAT]

No I strip out the adapter from the kit. Sorry :( I am going to either retap it or just order a new one. Thanks Don

[KRAZY KAT]

Don do you know where i can order a new 3mm adapter????? Thanks.

[KRAZY KAT]

Don , i notice that you carry the xf/sf rotor plug. I have the stock L-39 fan. Well while working on it i strip out the set screw.My question is will it fit my fan????I have the extreme motor.

[The Don]

You mean the brass hex adapter they include in the kit?

The only place I know that sells them is here:

[KRAZY KAT]

Yeah that's the one Don. But guess what, call a few buddies up and found a couple in their junk box. Thanks again Don. On my way to build this L-39

[KRAZY KAT]

Don, when are you planning to get more of the wicked 2700 kv???? Thanks

[The Don]

Hopefully tomorrow.

[KRAZY KAT]

Hello Don, just maiden the albratros with the 5400 wicked and 40 pent . It was quick. It was a little hard to land. Comes in hot. Gotta figure out how to protect those servo arms from catching weeds. Thanks again Don

Don, when are you planning to get more of the wicked 2700 kv???? Thanks

Motors arrived today.

Don I'm glad they're in (2700kv). I want to order one for my Stryker. Which ESC do I need?
Thanks!

After some more checking, I'm guessing a 40A will work?
Also, what size shaft does this have, and do you have the prop adaptors too?

[KRAZY KAT]

Hello wekenav8r,check out Don's pent 40. You can use 3-or 4 cell with that bad boy. The stock prop adaptor from your styker will fit the 2700 kv motor. Hey Don thanks for the heads up about the motor comming in. I can't decide what i want to build next.

[wekenav8r]

Hey, thanks for the help Kat. Actually, I've been sitting on this Stryker (airframe only replacement parts) for a couple of years now, untouched. I thought I'd pick up the stuff needed to get it in the air. As it is, I don't have a prop adapter for it, and thought I'd send as much as my business Don's way as I could.
Thanks again!

Hey weken, I am running the 2700 kv with the 40 pent in my funjet.I've been using 3 and 4 cell with this setup. All i can say is i love it. Hope ya get your stryker up soon.

[KRAZY KAT]

If anyone wants to know what prop i am running with the 2700kv on my funjet for 3=cell 5.25x4.75 and on 4-cell 4.75x4.75

[The Don]

I never ran a 4.75 x 4.75 on 4S thats a lot of watts!

Don

[KRAZY KAT]

Hey Don, I'm running 39 amp and 540 watt. So far motor is A ok. I don"t run it wot like you do when you are flying. Maybe just half of that.

[KRAZY KAT]

The area i fly at is about half of the size of your field. So my wot flying is alot less.

[KRAZY KAT]

I maiden the Albatros last weekend. Man, i didn't know duct fan was so much fun. It was fast. I did'nt do the cone thing yet.

[KRAZY KAT]

Don, your motor combo has made duct fan jets fun to fly. I don't think i would even think about duct fan jet if i didn't run into you web site. So keep up the excellent work. I have already told alot of flyers about your website and your product, and your excellent customer service. So thanks again for all your help.

[KRAZY KAT]

Today i ran the funjet with Don's 2700 kv 4.75x5.5 prop 4s lightmax 2200 20c batt 550watt 41amp. It flew very fast and on rail. The battery,esc,and motor came down normal after full flight. At one point my wings started to futter and had to back off the stick.

[KRAZY KAT]

Don,all i can say is that this motor and speedcontrol setup is alot of fun.

[KRAZY KAT]

Just remember if you look at my funjet, i have a couple of scoop on the side for extra cooling and it really work.

[wekenav8r]

Hey guys, another quick question. I have Don's 2700kv on my funjet and it's ready to go. I wanted to run it on a 3s pack for now, with a 6x4 prop. How do you detemine the mAh rating of the battery that's needed? I have a couple of 1350 packs, but I think they are too small?
Thanks!
Tim

OK, I think I found my answer in the battery threads. mAh x c rating / 1000.

My 1350 pack is 20C, so it should supply 27A. Acording to Don's specs, with the 6x4 prop it should be pulling 33amps. Looks like I need at least an 1800mAh/20c pack, or change to a 4.7x4.7 prop (27amps).

Is this correct?

[KRAZY KAT]

How many amp is your speed control??

[wekenav8r]

Hey KK,

I purchased the Pentium 40 ESC from Don when I ordered the 2700kv motor.

Tim

[The Don]

A 1800 20C will be OK, most use a 3S 2200 as they are so cheap at Hobbycity these days.
