Btw, 59 really give me the big plane feel. Even though she is lighter, but feel bigger in the air than my other 60".

Exactly! I'd say the 59 sees about 25% of flying time compared to my 50" stuff, simply due to increased setup times. But when I do have the spare time to setup it's really worth it setting it all up as it flies great

+1 on the big plane feel. It's a light plane for its size, but not so light it can't haul the momentum to do manoeuvres like pop tops. When flying really big precison IMAC lines with this, it feels really big, if not even bigger than my old 71 Slick (don't know why, haha! ). I really love the 59!

I'm still waiting for motor box kits to come back in stock. Does anyone have one in reserve? If so, would you be willing to put the formers on a copier and send me the paper copies, so I can cut my own parts?

Never mind, 3DHS says they can help me out.

Thanks,

Well I put a rimfire .55 and it fit great but has no power on 4s 4000, looking at specs again looks like that motor needs min of 5s. 18.5v. I did try a 5s 3300 and it still was not great. Very slow up line and was slow in general. I ordered the hacker 40a-12 ?? I hope that resolves the issue. Guess you can't always go by the kv rate.

Motrolfly 4315-668 or 410 is THE 59" slick motor.

Oops, typo, meant 668 or 714!!

I'm using the 4315-714 on mine. Running 4S lipo and an 85A ZTW esc.

+1, or you can run a Motrofly 3620-750kv on 4s power using a 15x7 Xoar electric prop. Plenty of power.

The 4315-714 will provide a motor that comes down cool to the touch, which I use on another airframe.

+1, I'm using the 3620 on 15x7 prop with 4s 4000s. I love the way the 59 performs. I thought about using the 15x8 prop but I think the 15x7 is the sweet spot for my setup

For the 3620 750Kv, a 15x7 Xoar already pulls ~80A. A 15x8 would be a bit much for it. While it provides plenty of power, if you do hard, violent 3D, the recommendation from Ken at SubSonic is to use the 4315 instead. The 3620 isn't up to the task for hardcore 3D use. If you just fly low and slow with it, no problem.

Warning
The 3620-750 used for 3D flight will not handle hard 3D maneuvers, damage can result to the magnets and stator if repeated blenders, walls, and tumbles are performed and is not covered under warranty. This motor is meant for light 3D systems where slow light 3D is desired. If you are a "Stick Bash r" go with the 4315 which can handle this kind of abuse.

Yep, I am aware of the "do not use for hardcore 3D warning" . But the 3620 is what I had for my 57" and now I put it in the 59". Doing pretty good so far after at least 50-60 flights. I'm willing to risk it, it's a good motor!

agreed... I tried the 15x8 prop, but went back to the 15x7.

+1. I tried the 15x8 with the 4315-714 and also went back to the 15x7. The 15x8 gave too much speed. was really difficult to hover with it. (or maybe it was just my crappy 3d skills)

Perfect motor for the 57" Extra!

4315-714 in mine!!
