隻電機落左地之後?係唔係唔可以推油架?

星期四 landing時,隻電 Filip 係飛鵝山?極都唔見
因為冇裝 BB, 就試?推著個摩打黎聽聲。但都係無聲氣。

?左成個鐘至?返!發現個摩打完全無反應。
到底係咪我當時推油、推死左個電變呢?

我隻 Filip 真係應左"紅顏多薄命"
第一次飛佢個日,就整壞個 Canopy 同 Spinner。
第二次去飛,成 set 槳連 collets 自已飛?去。
得個摩打係個機頭空轉!
今次就連電變都死!


我好鐘意呢部機,點都要醫返佢架。

呢個正好係比我為佢,重新建立一個動力系統既時機。

我想隻 Filip 保持輕身既特點,以便玩熱汽流。
所以想轉用 brushless motor 加小型 Lipo 電,大約 350mAh

但係隻機都會要黎飛北賽。所以 10秒鐘之內要可以產生極大升力,飛到我視力可及既高度。
我會帶 charger 同後備電去比賽,打算每 round 都換電,所以對電既要求係高輸出、底容量(輕)

請各電機高手比 D 意見我!

多謝!多謝!

Mak

Hi Mak,
I believe the origianl setup is more than enough for contest and for fun. With brushless, the plane will be out of sight in seconds, then you have to cut off the throttle and challenge your eyesight.
Investing in lipo cell is a good idea to reduce the sinking rate.

If you are looking for the feeling of vertical launch, you would like to invest in a bigger and visible plane!! Remember the last LMR contest, the $$$ plane just use seconds of power from the $$$ power train.

In the coming LMR contest, let's consider if we can have a class of S400 classic motor or a class limited by wingspan. In Europe, there is still a popular class for S400.

To get an exact 36mm is very rare. As far as I know, only 34, 35, or 38 are available from various manufacturers nowadays.

隻Filip雖然係一隻設計簡單既飛機,但用料和手工絕不馬虎,我可以說,架Filip的生產商係擺左個心落去造佢出來。

用心做的飛機,有心人自能領會。

如果composite F3X值100分,我會亳無保留俾100分隻Filip,講真,F3X都唔係隻隻做得靚。

我好高興隻Filip傳到阿麥手上。

Hi Yeung,

The original motor looks like a 280 or 300 motor. It was smaller than the motor than came with my Electric Bee.
The original setup runs with a 4.8:1 gear box and a 10x5 folding propeller.
It was OK for competition, but I would like to have more power.
If I change the motor to a S400 motor. How much weight will it add to the plane ?

I need a new set of power plant.
What do you recommand ?

I don't have any info of your plane.
If it is already good with a geared 300 set up, then a 400 motor geared at 4:1 should work well and probably overpowered!
Or get a faster gearbox??

If you still want brushless system, I would recommend using the original gearbox and get a short (say hackler B20S series, 2mm shaft to fit the pinion gear).
Or just an outrunner brushless motor, no gearbox anymore! Sorry I don't know much about outrunner)

There is a gear attached to the motor itself.
If I change the motor, should I epoxy the gear to the new motor ?

The original motor is 25mm in diameter. Is that a 280 motor ?

Hi Amk, I think it is a 300 motor.
Looks like it is a fairly deluxe gearbox, It has worm gear!!
If you can take out the pinion carefully, you can mount it on the new 2mm motor shaft by securing it with some STRONG red Loctite (screw glue). Very very strong !!

I wonder if you switch to a 400 motor, you may need to upgrade the "rondo" esc.

The motor and the gear box come in one set. It is made by Aeronaut.

What's the wing span and the net weight (no RC & drive unit) of the plane. The original unit seems to be a very good unit for the plane in terms of $$$.

Hit topics now moving to e-powered gliders for LMR. Are we going to have a contest in coming months? Ah Kin how about your F5J planes. On production for everyone with a nice price?
Or you'll set 1 up for every contestors to queue up and TRY it!

I found this site with a Filip V tail version, but it should be the same as my.

Mak,
For a 60" plane at that weight, the 300class geared unit be enough for fun fly and cruising in dead air. A 400 class geared unit be better for LMR but be careful on gear ratio and prop selection to minimize torque roll for easy launch.
Gear ratio from 2.8 to 4 be good choice.
The ESC come with your 300unit will not support the output Amp for a 400class brushed motor.
If your Rondo ESC is still OK, try to replace the 300 motor with an Align 350motor (avail at Ah Kin's), which comes in as a direct drive unit with 2 prop. Just keep on using the gear unit. There should be a great improvement with less than HK$120.
For expensive choice, Hacker B20S is excellent if you also want to invest on a brushless ESC. Cost be at least ten times of this while you may get a launch height at 2 to 4 time more.

Hi Yeung,
Thank you for your suggestions.

If you are going to arrage some S400 competition. I'll keep running the Filip with burshed motor.
However, my Rondo ESC was dead, and the Spinner running on the filip is a oversized 38mm, which looks too fat on the nose of the plane.

I had placed an order with HobbyLoby for a new 36mm spinner. I wish it'll arrive in a few days time.The filip will look much better with that new nose.
I've a Futaba 20A ESC on hand, so I'll give that a try with the old 300 motor. If it's still week in power output with the more powerful ESC, I'll then give the Align 350 motor a try.
