Decided today that hell or high water - I'd start on PKJ(Twin) ...
Donor machine is my 4400kv 1.1Kw PKJ2 .....  So first was to cut out the motor mount and infill with pink closed cell foam ...  Then remove paint / rough up the foam for epoxying the beams in ...   Motors in and beams secured also with wide head self tappers ..     Twin 50A ESC's ... one with red BEC lead pulled ... to a Y lead for Rx, I had to add a length to the battery cables as they were far too short ...  Unfortunately - I now find I have run out of bullets to connect the motors !! AUW without battery : 442 grams CoG with 2200 3S Turnigy or 1600 4S Zippy Compact is at front edge of finger holes ... ie spot on ! The battery is as far fwd as possible. Once I have motors connected ... and weather improves .... the V3 Speed Sensor will tell us what this bay will do ! Motors are 2632 3800KV small heli motors, 4.75 x 4.75 contra rotating props (inward turning), 50A ESC's ........... I have 5x5, 4.5 x 4.5 and 4.1 x 4.1 contra props as well in case ... Nigel |

But actually they are better than the alloy mount I used before I changed to the metal L bracket. For someone just doing the normal single motor PKJ ... it's a good stick mount, better than both the stock and alloy. Here - I'm just interested in one thing - getting the machine airborne. Cosmetics are for others. If she works - then I may add some foam fairing or other to make her look a bit better. OH - I salvaged some bullets from other set-ups and had her connected up last night ... you have to hear those motors together ... what a sound ! But boy - in just a few secs the test LiPo - a 1300 3S 25-35C puffed .............. so she needs serious battery ! Still to do Wattmeter tests. To satisfy some others on another topic - the V3 Speed sensor is in my 50mm EDF to clock what my $30 upgrade really does .. Once that's cleared up - the PKJ(T) will get it back. Thinking about the V3 sensor ... I'm seriously thinking to get some more ... now that I have the Edge 540 racer, crazy power EDF's etc ... Nigel Nigel |

I use the same style of plastic mount on my PJ. Got a bunch of them from Millennium RC as they are better quality than GWS versions http://www.millenniumrc.com/MotorMount.html

Your video is showing as private Nigel.
I've been flying my PKJ2 the last 2 weeks. Nice and SLOW plane LOL. Flies sweet though. Really enjoying it. It keeps living to fly again and that's what I was after. Nosed it in full speed yesterday and virtually scratch free. I credit the durability to the 3 carbon strips I placed standing up under the battery area. The nose didn't curl upward this time and spared the canopy too. Highly recommended mod. |
