Actro 32-3 + 100T = WOW

[bob00]

Flew my Actro Ion all day Sat and man, that had to be the *BEST* day out in my 3 seasons with the Ion.

This was my first opportunity to put some significant time on the 100T setup back-to-back with my Neu Ion and 91SZ PS Fury - didn't miss the Fury :). And yeah I'm still flying the heavy packs (10S4P prolites)

It was a HOT day (34deg C) and man was the Actro alive!! Kicked some serios @ss. The Neu held headspeed better through some things, but the lighter Actro had more 'snap' to it just like Will said and ran cooler too 130F vs 160F after 8 minutes.

IMHO 100T is the magic gear ratio for the Acto on 10s - didn't stop flying until both deep cycle batteries were too dead to run the chargers :).

I still think that the magic setup for the Neu will be 60T + 12S with some hot 4400 6S packs like the ones the Szabo's flew at XFC. My gut-calc says this setup should save 1 - 1.5 lbs for a 10.5lb Ion AND deliver 7+ minutes of hard flight at cooler motor and battery temps. Hope they'll be available soon.

These things ROCK!!

Then just wait until you try the Actro 32-3 on 12S with a 12:1 gearing ;-).....

:)

How's the Actro been holding up on 12S?

Really good so far, Greaaaat power and a cold motor (80 deg C on the windings after a flight) due to the 22.000 rpm in combination with a self cooling design....the more rpm, the more cooling.

The trick is to keep up the rpm, keep up the gear ratio and keep down the Amps.

When the season is over, I will be able to deliver some more long term test results. Until then I can only say good so far.

I have now ordered 3 more Actro motors for different heli´s, so I trust them :-)

hey , you cant beat a actro , I have the actro 32-4 in my flybarless VStabi Ion and a 100 t main , it rocks , Will witness the VStabi with 2 7s4p with Matt at the sticks , it weighes 11 pounds and rocks just as well as the 10s evos . I have a great video of the VStabi test with this combo

Honestly I don't think it can match the 32-3 10:1 with the EVO's for more than the first minute of flying Tony, but it did fly nice.

Cool Rob glad to hear you got youre stuff flying again

Y ou got to get some of those 20c cells in youre machine they change the whole out look

I think the ACTRO 32-3 ON 12S is the way been there done that wiht both the Neu and tthe actro i liked the actro the best it had way more power then the Neu on 12s!!

I would have to agree wiht Will Tony the Evo packs are a whole new experience wiht any heli

32-3 12:1 with 12S EVO´s could be fun to try....Who will be the first to try that setup?

[BobbySmith]

HAHa yea alot of new stuff coming Charlie has some nice stuf as well coming iam going to wait on the new Kontronik Jazz controller before i got to 12s again i know were thew setup needs to be. But for now Ihave my R55 spoiling me power wise

[misskimo]

Will , man you wasnt watching to long , he he , you will see it again this weekend :mrgreen: you still on for BlackSheep ? Will , Markus will be there , HC , and maybe Matt , that was a if on that one though , cant wait , will leave thursday afternoon , :badair: got 7800 miles on the rental in 5 weeks , and got another week , I bet I will hit 9000 in the 6th week , I think this winter I will have enough driven in to last through the winter :glasses2:

I am going to try. Most likely I can only make Friday, got a TON of work and Honey Dos for Sat. You gonna be there FRI?

[bob00]

Hi Bobby, the helis have be good to go for the last little while, but I have been unavailable. Both helis have been flying well with the CC110's, but the Actro definately has the edge on power-to-weight.

32-3 on 12S at 12:1? 120T gear? Chris where are you man!!?? :D

I'm trying to hold of the 12S 20C thing until something in the 4400 - 5000 range shows up for increased duration (at least 7 min) and a 10.5lb heli. In the meantime I'm trying to "use up" my 10S4P prolites :)

Having more fun with my Actro Ion than my current nitro machines so far this season.

IRCHA's gonna be a good time this year.

btw: Will - Very nice work on the XFC videos, hard work getting all that editing and encoding done in such a short time - thanks, effort is much appreciated

[misskimo]
