Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is the motor temperature safe when running at maximum power?
A: Yes. The "motor temperature" in all test data is the stabilized temperature after running at 100% throttle under full load for 3 minutes. The KV600/KV650 models reach temperatures of 80-92°C under extreme load, and KV900 reaches 76-82°C. All are within the normal and safe operating temperature range for brushless motors. In actual 3D flight, power output is dynamic, and continuous 100% throttle is rare, so normal operating temperatures will be lower. Good airframe duct design can further assist with heat dissipation.
Q: How to choose between polymer-fiberglass (GF) propellers and carbon-fiber (CF) propellers for 3D flight?
A: For the same model, the performance (thrust, power, efficiency) of the two is very close. The main differences are:
Carbon-Fiber Propellers: Higher rigidity, smaller deformation, slightly higher efficiency at high RPM and high thrust, more durable, but more expensive and prone to breaking in crashes.
Fiberglass Propellers: Have a certain degree of toughness, better impact resistance, cost-effective, with performance almost on par with CF propellers.
For 3D flying, which often involves the risk of collisions, beginners or those practicing frequently may choose GF propellers to reduce costs; professional pilots pursuing ultimate performance and durability are recommended to use CF propellers.
