Notes:

http://www.plettenberg-motoren.com/UK/Motoren/aussen/Predator/Motor.htm Power of 11KW [14.75 hp]. Cost is about $850.00 US. A cooling spinner is available with a diameter 115 mm. [4.5") Yes, @50Volts and 220Amps they're running 11KiloWatts of power through this 5" diameter OutRunner ... NO GEARS! rpm/V = 128 ... 1350grams/3-lbs. ... about 15H.P.

rpm with no load/V: 160 1/min

* Instead they installed a Plettenberg Predator 30/8
brushless electric motor …

See that big hole in the spinner?
That’s to let the air through for cooling …

Looks like Plettenberg will market the motor as a 10KW motor but it has already been estimated to as much as 13KW at computed maximum V’s ‘n A’s …

The motor has a maximum speed of 50V x 128 V/rpm = 6,400 RPM, which will decrease as the batteries loose their charge.

Two Predator motors would probable be matched to a 1/2 scale model of the UniCopter sizing. Heck 4 Predators in the SynchroLite would carry a person

Can the Predator be run in either direction? Hans said that Brushless R/C electric motors can be run in reverse.

DC brushless.

Information on Predator 30-8 and suitable propellers.

Look at this page. http://www.plettenberg-motoren.com/UK/zupred.htm

It appears to show that the propeller can be attached to the back end.

This implies that the fan (axial, radial, or combination) could be installed at the back end and rotate within the motor's supporting tubes.

The beast of prey! Wih this motor you have awfully power inside your model. Presented on the Tucson Shootout 2005 in Arizona/USA the motor enthusiasmed the spectators. Models with 2,60 m span and up to 15 kg weight go vertical in the sky.

Demanding aerobatic up to 10 min. you will finish in superior style.This is possible because off the power of 11KW (14.75 hp) - with one motor and one controller! A new driving power dimension is opened. 1,550 g 3.4 lbs
