Tech Series Featuring Innov8tive Designs

The CEO of Innov8tive Designs has a great rule of thumb to make the motor you purchase last! Watch now to learn about electric power systems and choosing the right electric motor for your model.

What size motor do I need?

When you build a model that is designed to be powered by an electric motor, most of the time the kit manufacturer already gives recommended motor sizes. However, if the manufacturer doesn’t provide this information, or for models that were originally designed for glow engines, picking the right motor can be a bit challenging. To begin the process of selecting the correct motor, ESC, battery and prop for an aircraft, you need to know the model’s specifications. As long as you know the weight of the model, the type of model, the desired flight speed, and the desired flight duration, you can select a power system that will provide ample power. Innov8tive Designs CEO Lucien Miller has a great writeup about selecting the right motor for your model. Check it out at https://lucienmiller.com/2016/08/10/what-size-motor-do-i-need !
