I have some experience using brushless motors as drivers for aircraft radar and other systems and am quite familiar with how they work, their advantages, and disadvantages. I believe they have great potential however expectations sometimes have a way of exceeding actual results.
That・s why I am looking forward to seeing hard results from Viperdout・s project and I sincerely hope it is a smashing success. But before everyone rushes out and pay・s $140 for a brushless system (not a bad price at all) thinking it is going to give them a massive competitive edge, they might want to do a little more research.
Just like your jet engine example they have advantages but a jet engine is not necessarily better than a propeller especially for smaller aircraft, you might want to visit the Reno air races for a good practical explanation.
So Jshwaa I・m willing to be convinced but for me the jury・s still out.
Viperdout with any luck it will come in early, can't wait to see it.

Can your Orion Big Block make a T go 60?
