<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto"><div>Glen,</div><div>yes it is the Hobby King motor. but all is not straight forward. the easiest way</div><div>to adapt a boat prop when in a housing is to machine a new central motor shaft.</div><div>It is difficult finding a suitable electronic speed controller. only the boat & some car</div><div>esc's have reverse & everything is radio control. There are various functions</div><div>needed to be programmed in to the motor controller & some adaptations need to be</div><div>made to run it off a joy stick. I may have to get an esc taylor made once I know the</div><div>motor is perfect for the job & I have the stats on it. I have a helicopter / plane</div><div>transmitter & apparently There are different transmitters for land based units.</div><div>I am intending to oil compensate but with an air compensation method.</div><div>I will be using either a relieving type pressure regulator set low, or a modified</div><div>second stage regulator. so the air will be pressurising the oil to ambient. If the oil</div><div>runs out I will still have air. I will experiment with oil & air.</div><div>Any videos of your helicopter action?</div><div>Alan</div><div> </div><div><br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On 2/11/2015, at 10:31 pm, glen brown via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Alan <div>Is it the same motor you got from Hobby King? the reason being I want to order one for my stern thruster.Yes we dart and herd capture in a boma using helicopter very dangerous work.Are you going to go air comp ?</div><div>Glen</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 11:09 AM, Alan via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Thanks Glen,</div><div>yes I'm using a low kv motor.
