Fliton mini edge motor?

[motodad]

I am going to purchase a Fliton mini edge. What motors would give it great performance using a CC pheonix 25 and 1800MaH 15c 3 cell lipo's? Thanks

Hacker A20-20L is the perrrrrrrfect motor for that!!

Yes, the Hacker A20:20L is the recommended choice for that setup.

I've been running the Hacker A20-20L with an APC 10-4.7 sf prop. That combo draws about 19 amps at WOT. Gives good pullout from a hover and excellent all-round 3D performance. For more scale aerobatics perf, I run an APC 11-5.5E prop.

Its a fun little bird. : )

Here's a vid of mine.....

I started with the AXI 2212/20, very light build @ 20 oz's AUW, but it was not real strong verticle. Just changed over to the AXI 2808/24...WOW! Now this baby pulls HARD. Runs about 250 Watts, 22-23 amps on an APC 10x5E. It's a real good match, and the slightly heavier motor didn't noticeably impact float or flight performance.

Matchless why the SF prop, why not the E for 3D?

[TManiaci]

Damn Matchless, you make that bird look GOOD! Nice flying!

Moto, the SF props are better for 3D because they make a bigger wind disc (prop blast) over the control surfaces at low rpms to provide better control. The E-Series props are more efficient at speed, and will give you a longer flight and smoother power control.

I liked running the AXI 2212/20 with the APC SF 10x4.7. You have to run a 2100 with a good discharge before you get a lot of power out it. I had the extra at 23.5oz and it had plenty of power. I was reaching 275 watts if i remember right.

I figured it would be about the air movement over the surfaces. This will be my first outrunner and all the numbers confuse me.

Yea Zak, if I put in the 2100 mAH and mounted a 10x4.7, it was much stronger, but that battery really pushes the wing loading up. I started getting some snap in hard pitch pulls. I flew the 2212/20 an 1500 mAH Lipo from Dymond Modelsports that weighs the same as the TP1320... made the AUW just over 20 oz's. But, I like more power too... hence upgrading the motor for ballistic performance. Running a 1800 15C now, so it's up to ~22.5 oz's, but still flys well. I do see the little bit of snappy behavior if I am not careful though.

I built a CF pylon mount to get the weight down.

im running a Himaxx 2025-5300, it hovers at 1/2 trottle for first 5 minutes then 75% for another 4, AUW is 21oz with 3cell 2100mah pack.

Dude that motor mount is pimp!

[TManiaci]

Thanks Zak... it was fun building. It really takes weight out, and is real strong.

[motodad]

Thanks, I ordered the Hacker. Can't wait to get the plane in next week.

anyone got pics of the original motor mount and is there any mods that need to be made to mount a hacker or a AXI?
