Hi, I haven't checked in lately.
Glad to see more intrust in the servo side of this sport.
The motor pictured above I had to go to the manufactures
web site to get the specs. All you sometimes get is a model
number. But it tells you everything you want to know if you
want to get into these things.
This set up put out 10 amps most of the time and peaked at
around 40 amps at my place. I kept adding weight to the tail
and it kept getting better with a 6' prop. I think it could go to
a 7' prop, anyway someone came up and had to take it to their
house to try out.
I'm working with them on a tower. But as far as my cheap set up,
it's just about perfect. I guess a longer and heavier tail boom on
the next one so I don't have to add so much weight to it (3 three
foot lengths of 1/2" rebar into the boom did the trick to keep it into
the wind and furl nicely and still put out 40 amps. I'd like to go a
little further with it.
Anyway I have a few new neighbors now (thanks, sparweb
)
to get to know, I know they have a good wind site so they will be
calling. ( I just set up an amplifier for the cell phone and it works!!)
