    Dude, I can't wait to see this baby in action.
    Great job!

    Nice work!, and thanks for sharing. I have already ordered my 150 motor, fat boy esc and 32-10 carbon prop. been interested to make my own since lazersaber posted his video on the sunny motor years ago. I plan to assemble mine in the next few months and would love to see more videos on the batteries - wiring and any other advice you may have. I plan to install the components into my shapeshifter ppg design.

    How much thrust did it produce?

    My project is to build a miniparamotor just for some extra push during freflight just in case I run out of air lift and need to climb a few more meters to find a good place for emergency landing
    So I guess with this setup I would have enough power just to keep level flight for like 5 or maybe 10 minutes with a 10 Amp 14s battery. I weigh 65/70Kg. Do you think this would be enough power?

    What's the noise at 5:40? Sounds like a jet taking off or high speed wind tunnel... BTW, I like the idea of electrics - opens lots of possibilities.

    Hi Brother, :) first of all Congratulation on your build second could you please tell us where you bout your things and what you are using to fly? thank's

    Where did you get those battery

    great video. thank you bunches. for posting. one note. did you find you had gone about a minute too long, and pushed the voltage a touch too low?? two of these on one paramotor, with a double belt to one prop would be best..or one cogged belt to one pulley. on your throttle hand, you could have two levers, and pull both for takeoff, and run one at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle for flight extension with an Ozone Delta 3, maybe. the guy down in dubai had your almost exact same setup, alishanmao. but he quickly changed to something else. he is more interested in rc, than flying, as some people are not dynamic flyers.

    • @Whiteytightys
      @Whiteytightys  7 лет назад

      lol I did go a little too long. I planned on dropping the batteries to 15% but I checked it at 25% and then it dropped down to 5% so I decided to wait till the thrust started to drop significantly before stopping. A pulley system would work best because it would allow for a larger prop. My reason for this setup is that I am designing the pack to be worn while jumping from an airplane. My school project is to extend the range and effectiveness of a paratrooper with a ram-air chute.

      reminds me of vietnam. they were thinking of having an inflatable flex wing, and when bailing out over N Vietnam, the wing would inflate, and take you out over the gulf of tonkin. we left some guys in N Vietnam after war, not good. some died there.

    • @Whiteytightys
      @Whiteytightys  7 лет назад

      Thank you for your service and happy Veterans' Day. The Navy HALO guys have wings now that are capable of doing just that. My intention is to propose a solution for a scenario where the plane can't get close enough to the LZ during a low altitude drop. A paramotor would allow a team to fly a predetermined course over less hazardous areas and would also provide an additional option to extract after the mission is complete. It's definitely mission specific but there are some tactical benefits over a traditional drop.

    • @paublusamericanus292

      I think a c-130 could hook up a pickup hook, and pickup a paramotor guy, and boy, would he take off.

  • @neosugus

    Looks great! Good power, ESC didnt burn... With 14s maybe you would reach 35 to 40 kg of thrust!!! Can you tell me how much motor+prop+esc weight? And the music? Sounds great :)

    • @Whiteytightys
      @Whiteytightys  7 лет назад

      I don't remember the weight exactly, but all components are roughly 7 pounds minus the 26 pound battery pack.

      Barrio Sesamo - yea those first version of fat boy or flier 300 amp ESC,s were garbage I'm glad to see they fixed the heatsink and logic issue's the V1 300 amp ESC,s had.

    Hello,
    Can you give me the thrust with the 30x12 propellers?
    The calculation software on the ecalc.ch site is close to your results.
    Thank you

    • @Whiteytightys
      @Whiteytightys  7 лет назад

      The max thrust with the 30x12 was 73lbs on 12s batteries. The ESC will take up to 14s so there is a little extra room for more potential.

    • @hervebienfait8964
      @hervebienfait8964 7 лет назад

      Thank you,
      According to the calculations of the website ecalc.ch the thrust should have been 63lbs with 208A consumed.
      Do not exceed the 190A recommended by Hobbyking.
      For a model with a large wing load, the 28x14 propeller would be more adpated.
      cordially

    Thanks for the great video!
    Scientific tests of this motor have been tough to come by, but yours shines. The data makes me plenty confident in the parts I selected. Nothing too dissimilar, but running at 14s.
    Have you set up your backpack frame yet?

    • @Whiteytightys
      @Whiteytightys  7 лет назад +1

      Thanks! The prop is a Falcon 30" diameter by 12" pitch. The motor is rated for 190A and it was pulling 210A at full throttle so I'd say it is a good match. I also tried a four blade Biela 24x14 that pulled about 45lbs @ 160 amps if I remember correctly.

    • @yetna197
      @yetna197 7 лет назад

      Transportation Design PeterSripol put two of these to good use recently. Shame he isn't as concerned with the data.

  • @mackattack8627

    Always shorten your ESC to motor wires to help prevent the voltage spike killing the ESC but good to see those Fatboy ESC ,s working now we fried a many of those 10 year's ago but that motor and the Orginal Turnigy C80100/85 cans are the best motors your money can buy before you step up to the Scorpion Mhz and Lehner 7455-7065 quality German made 15-40Kw Outrunners 😉 nevertheless that motor will handle 60 volts and 300amps😁 so 18Kw ain't no pussy when it's times 3 in Raw Torque 😈

    I've been interested in a project like this myself for a while. I've wondered if these motors might be a better option: www.kdedirect.com/collections/xf-single-rotor-brushless-motors/products/kde700xf-295-g3
    They have 75% of the power, but are 25% of the weight of the RotoMax 150cc. Maybe use two or three of them and gear into a single prop, or use three or four in a Y or + configuration and run the props directly. KV might be a bit high though to run a large enough prop.
