[NSRCA-discussion] Hacker A60-7s-v2

[Gary Switala]

My thoughts on the Plettenberg Advance and the Hacker A60-7s-v2.

 

I have had two Hackers and presently have two P. I have flown both back to back many times in contests and for practice and I didn’t see any outstanding differences. I originally started with the Hackers three years ago and liked their power and quality. Three years of constant use here in Mesa AZ proves the reliability and toughness of the Hacker.  I moved to the Plettenberg because of the heat here in AZ and in the Hacker motors.  It’s a 50 mile round trip to the field for me, so turnaround time was the issue for me. The Hackers get hot and take time to cool down here in AZ.  I was told that heat was not a problem with the Hackers but with an ambient tempter of 100+ degrees here in Jun, July and Aug, and trying to get 6+ flights in, I did have my concerns. The first thing I saw with the Plettenberg is that they ran much cooler so I was spending less cool-down time.  I was able to take advantage of open slots to pick and choose as to which others that I felt safe flying with. One midair is too many.   The Plettenbergs  are also slightly easier on the batteries.  If I lived in a cooler area I’d stay with the Hacker.

 Ron it's strong and nothing wrong with it. The cost is $214.99 makes it as cheap an option as is available.

 What ESC will run it is up for debate. I am not 100% sure Castle has a 28 pole motor solved yet. The safe route is using a Jeti Spin Pro 99 ESC. Which costs about $60 more than a CC Edge HV80.

 I find a lot of guys who want to run the CC ESC use the 20 pole motors like the Himax 210Pro and the Plettenberg Advance.

Anyone have any experience with this motor for a 2meter for flying intermediate?

 

Thanks Ron
