I have been told about a fairly new motor. The motor is the aerix speed 280 brushless. there are two versions: pm516 16 turn 6 to 8 cells, and pm520 20 cell turn 7 to 10 cell. both are $79 from hobby lobby. It has a 480 output with less amp draw for 10 to 30oz planes. 22m diameter, 48mm long, 48grams weight, carbon fiber case. Recomended to use jeti 18amp brushless controller. 8cells with 4.7X4.7 prop is 19,400 with no gear=) Imagine 10 cells with that prop and motor!!! They are running it on the new "hexcell" NiMh 1100 mah cells that weigh less than 600 AR's and can deliver higher amps! If anyone knows a wholesaler for this motor let me know......
