Drone and RC airplane motors - everything you wanted to know but you were afraid to ask!
Today, let's have a nice talk about brushless electic motors we use in the RC hobby. Both on airplanes, as well as on drones. In this video we will discuss:
- motor size
- motor KV and rotation speed
- KV versus KT as motor constants
- stator and rotor
- number of coils and poles
- winding
- phases
- airflow and cooling
- does a motor care about rotation direction
- how to change the rotation direction of a motor
- shaft and hub
- mounting holes spacing
- how not to fry your motor right away
