More news from south of the border, two more Arf's are in the proto type stage and have been test flown at the US Nats and a race in CA.
Actually I am scratch building one right now.
Stay tuned.

looking at all of these planes I was wandering what will happen if I put this motor in my Sundowner - Instead of the Eflite 32 running with 5S and 10x10 APC

Scorpion HK-3226-1400KV

Motor Kv   1400Kv RPM/Volt
Max Continuous Current   80 Amps
Max Continuous Power   1770 Watts
Weight   239 Grams (7.77 oz)
Max Lipo Cell   6s
Max Peak Current   105A (2 seconds)
Max Peak Power   2330 Watts (2 seconds)

Will the plane break if I leave the 10x10 and use 5S battery?
Is there a cheaper version of a 32 size motor with ~1000-1300Kv capable of turning a 10x10 with a 5s battery?

Good question... But I'm sure it will be fast  ;D

Headsuprc have a Firepower 30 1000kv, they say to us a 4c and a 10x7 prop. I think a 10x10 is to heavy of a pitch, it must really suck up the power from the lipo.
With the scorpion I would run a 8x8, you would not want to load it down with a 10x10, also it has 1400kv and is a high performance motor.
The Sundowner with a F1 set up is just a little slower than our Shoestrings, Polecats and Toni's but is bigger and heavier.
It should go pretty good with a 30 and a 10x7.

You think it will be faster with this 1000kv and 10x7 prop on a 4s than my current setup of power 32 770kv 5s 10x10 prop?
I was thinking that with maybe a 9x10 or even higher pitch it would work better.

If you need speed go with the H9 Jackal, I looked into the Sundowner, you need tons of watts to even get past 120mph. Its too draggy, i would leave it as an ef1 racer.

**Fast** F5D Pylon Racer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3Z0pCVINX0#)


Want to go fast?

Hey Ed, my definition of speed is slightly different from yours.
I would like to actually see the plane I am flying and it will take me a while untill I can fly by feeling only :)
Only looking at your small plane tearing the skies makes me dizzy ...
Looks like we need a speed gun for TEMAC.

- The Jackal is not made for electric and will require too many mods and probably 10s. If it would have been designed for electric power I would consider it.

You didn't think going fast would be easy did you?  ;D

Electric Jackal:

Very fast Hangar 9 Jackal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4r-DKUo_Y8#)

With the 32 motor and the 5s lipo your are getting16,940 rpm, I would experiment with some different props, you can tell if getting any more speed.
You should get over 100mph and thats pretty good for that design.
