The motor could only reach 1500rpm, 2000 needed. The motor could only draw 220A. The rpm too low to allow more amp flow. Batteries were at 150v. This test used the standard propellar normally used on the aircraft. The pulling force only reached 92kg, just over half of the Subaru EA81 engine with a 2.5:1 reduction drive. This motor would be good if we used a reduction drive, but we were hoping that we could do it direct drive. We changed the pitch of the propellar with some increase in pulling power. The next test will be with a shorter prop, smaller diameter. How about a Re-Drive from a Rotax Ultralight or one from Eggenfellner Aircraft or Powersport Aviation? The one from powersport might be the nicest - since it was bult for a Rotary Engine - just might need different gears! www.myelectricfly.com/ and http://nogas96volts.blogspot.com/ for routine news
