I put a smaller prop on 8x5 but yeah the motor does come down hot. Thought about drilling a hole in the canopy to get a bit more airflow through the fuselage
Good for beginners? I had a XK800 glider however the quality sucked so I need something new. I tried a Ranger 600 but I hated the handling. I will be buying this next paycheck probably. What is your setup on it? Not sure if I will do PNP or kit jet.
This is very easy to fly and I feel it is beginner friendly. It’s kinda underpowered on 2s but you can run 8x5 Gemfan folding props on 3s with the stock pnp motor and it’s efficient and enjoyable
@@dronepilot260rc thanks for the tips. In the beginning it being kinda underpowered is fine and once I get better at it I will switch out the prop and battery. How does it respond if you only change the battery?
Can you place a link for the prop you’re talking about? I’m also thinking of putting my spectrum motor and ESC from my Conscendo Evo in there. Then I know it’ll fly 3 s
Such a great sport glider. I need to take mine out again soon. That landing was as nice, slow, and soft as they come. Well done.
I really enjoy the Phoenix S 1600, it’s definitely a bang for your buck aircraft 😎
Some reported a very hot motor on 3s even to the point of weakening the motor mount to the point of failure. I change my motor to a 850kv Sunnysky,

As long as the cg is good it flies well but I find it hard to get the cg on 2s . 3s with the stock pnp prop will cook the motor for sure
I run mine on a 2s2p 3000mah 18650 pack, flys forever but yeah it's underpowered, I think a 7 second autolaunch gets me about 40m altitude 😂

That is the pnp 2212 motor with 3 s?
@@MelodylaneLou that’s correct with 8x5 folding prop
