I am setting up a Pike Superior for F5J next season and am looking
for some suggestions as to what drivetrain to put in it. I have in
my collection a couple of Aveox motors that I have never used: An
F12LMR (10-16 cells) and F7LMR (7-10 cells).
So far, my experience with unlimited F5J planes is with my molded E-
Graphite, which uses a Hacker B50S LMR (7-10 cell). I've been
running it on 10 cell GP2200 packs and it gives the Graphite a
vertical climb. I'd like the same sort of climb with this new Pike.
Few questions for you F5J experts out there:
1) I want to run this plane on 10 cells so as to keep the weight
down. Am I better off running the F12LMR or the F7LMR with 10
cells? What are the pros and cons?
2) Will I be better off simply putting a tried and true Hacker
B50SLMR in this plane?
3) In addition to the three large wires, the Aveox motors have a five-
wire connector that apparently connects only to the Aveox
controllers. But all other controllers I've seen have only the three
large wires. What are the 5 small wires for? And can an Aveox motor
that has them be controlled by a Jeti or other brushless controller?
Thanks for any suggestions and advice!
