The following question came from Gerry " )


Can you tell me what the weight is of your MPS-1A motor with prop?


From : Don Stackhouse

10 grams total, or .35 ounces. 2 grams of that is the prop (not counting the adapter and retaining nut, I included those with the rest of the unit).

At full throttle on a 7-cell NiMH pack, it pulls about 1.0 to 1.2 amps, which is about 8-12 watts. The quality of the batteries and the size of the cells makes a huge difference, which is the reason for the spread in the numbers.

    I'm thinking of using this motor to power a walnut scale Beech Staggerwing (Dumas kit). BTW, the Staggerwing would be a fine addition to your civilian RoadKill series (hint, hint).

I'm not sure how soon its turn will come up in the development schedule, but the Staggerwing is definitely a prominent member of our "to do" list.

Right now we just got the Curtiss Wright Junior into production, we're very close to having the B-17 and the Ryan ST in production, and we froze the design of the Focke-Wulf FW-190A yesterday after some very successful flight tests. We have several others that are coming along very well, including a big 4 motor flying wing and a WW2 canard-pusher, both of which now have their basic designs frozen. We have several other models in active development, and a big list after those.

The biggest problem we're having with the RK models is deciding which one to do next!
