Motor_Installation

This photo shows the motor and mount. For anyone building a Senior Telemaster this combination is working very well. The motor is a Great Planes RIMFIRE .80 500 rpm/kv. I'm using it with a Castle Creations Phoenix ICE 100 ESC and Venom 6s1p 5000 mAh battery. Full throttle current with an APC 15x6 was 57.6 Amps at 11K rpm.

NOTE: For anyone thinking of building a Senior Telemaster, the instructions and photos don't show any right or down thrust being put into the mount. In fact they say to mount it "perpendicular" to the firewall. This photo shows the washers I installed to give approximately 2 degrees right and down thrust. This results in little or no throttle induced pitch or yaw. Top left 1 washer, top right 2 washers, bottom right 1 washer, bottom left NO washers.
