Oliver: no reason, I just liked it and it fit nicely.

Could you explain the prop adapter you used on the Turnigy motor. Looks like you used the stock T-28 prop nut and the Turnigy prop adapter?

Thanks,
Oliver

Does anyone know of a place museum/airport where I can pay for a flight on a T-28 Trojan with in the east coast? Or anywhere else in the country?

I purchased a turnigy 3650c and a super simple 50A ESC along with a PARKBEC. I can not seem to get the esc to go into program mode using a DX6i.
You will get 10 beeps if you do not provide power to the bec.

I have tried everything I can think of.

The throttle will control the motor without any problem.

I get 2 beeps once I plug in the battery (I think this means 2S battery using 3S).

DO not want to fly until I can get the esc programmed.
I’ve tried reversing the throttle. Set the trav adjust to 125% up and down.

With the throttle on , in any possition, the motor spins. (Thought there was a safe guard).

I even reset a model and rebound unsing defaults.

HELLO, I have been using this setup for about 6 monts now.
I Have upgraded to a CASTLE CREATIONS THUNDERBIRD 54AMP ESC ($60) which has a built in BEC. Also I have purchased a aluminum motor mount from e-bay which took care of the vibration and breakage issues. Prop is a 12X6 rigid which remarkably only pulls about 32 amps and is even faster than the 10×3.8 slow flyer.I also use the zippy battery’s (GREAT DEAL), but i use the 25c discharge series. I would not even bother with the 15c because they just wouldn’t be able to keep up with the current draw. There’s nothing wrong with saving money but you still want the job to be done right. I have been flying with much success thus far.
Great job dave.

I did not have the patience for the turnigy motor, and opted instead for a Power 10 (eflight) from a local shop. You can mount it without any hole drilling straight into the original corsair motor holder. The only thing you will have to change is the prop, since the original props cannot be mounted without some adaptation. Vibrations are more observable with this motor but with a good matching propeller it is not an issue. (some say that a metal motor holder solves all vibration problems, but in my case the vibrations ar barely noticeable)

Robert: Ouch!

I don’t have any experience with the Aerodrive motors. Be sure to let us know how it goes.

Great article, comes very handy !
I just had a terrific crash, full throttle straight into the ground :-). So my stock motor is a bit broken (not to mention the plane body and wings). The engine might fly again but I have an uneasy feeling about those cracks in the rotor. I am also to have this turnigy motor on my corsair. A question though; turnigy has also the black motor series the (AerodriveXp SK Series). They say that these are “better” then the golden ones. What is your opinion ?

thank you ,
robert

Im sorry I lost the reply from my last question about what bec is needed for the hobby city 40-50 esc? also I just hooked up the motor to my corsair and used the aluminum motor mount from books and steam (very nice you just use a dremel and make the cowl hole a bit bigger) anyway with stock electronics in the corsair and 1800 battery the prop was wierd at full throttle. It was kind of hesitating till i brought throttle down to 75% or less. What was that?? Do I need to use the 40-50 amp esc or could i just put a bec in the stock corsair?? thanks again
