X power WindyBought to replace, after previous one stopped working.
Great service.
Review by: Chris
Bought to replace a geared Hacker in my ancient F5J AVA. Needed a little ballast to maintain correct cg but provides more than enough power on 3s LiPo and 10/6 prop. Highly recommended. Will probably re-use in a more up to date F5J model shortly. Usual speedy, reliable, service from Hyperflight.

Xpower WindyGreat motor for a Prestige 2PK Storm. Lots of power on a 4s battery.
Review by: Scott
Great Service, Products and PricesAlways very prompt shipping, and Royal Mail unlike the USPS gives updates all along the way as to the status of my package. I usually takes longer on the US Side to get it than it did getting it out of England.

Xpower F2925/8 windy 1380 outrunnerLooks like a very solid motor fits snugly in a 30mm firewall. Not used the motor in anger yet but hopefully it'll do the job
Review by: Malbax
Great motor, fitted to F5J model glider. Time frame for delivery to Aus was excellent.
Review by: Robert
It does the jobI have installed this in an Electra and with a 11x6 GM prop it performs well to my satisfaction. I get a good rate of climb from the slope. It may not have sufficient power for a 30 sec competition climb but it has more than enough for me.

X power WindyGreat motor great for narrow nose and connections to the rear grat service as usual Highly recomend this motor
Review by: Robert
This motor appears well built and is well suited for my narrow bodied Electra that I bought from a friend. It is supplied with some useful ESC bullet connectors that I needed as the existing ESC bullets were a different size. Some 3mm mounting screws would also be a useful addition to this pack, but I guess differing bulkhead thicknesses may make this impractical. I am still waiting to re-maiden the Electra but I have high hopes for a good climb with this motor.

Good fit for a 30mm firewall in F5J shipWorks as advertised and delivered in a day.

What a fantastic little motor.Very pleased as prefer the small prop folds down neatly causing less wind resistance. Works on higher rpm than old geared motor but gets the model up to height equally as well with less drag.

Xpower windyThese motors are brilliant. Have been using them for a while now without a single issue.
Been running them on 4s with a 10x6 cn prop.
They are quiet and have plenty of power.

Fine motor running 11 by 8 CN propeller on a 33 mm yoke and a 2200mah 3s pack gives 60 amps 10 volts 600 watts. Because of the hollow motor shaft chose clamp on offset Reisenauer spinner.
Review by: Pete W
Quality ProductI bought this motor with the help and recommendation from Neil to convert a Vladimir Models Supra into an all round slope & flat field model. The Xpower F2925 gives the Supra a good climb rate and fitted perfectly into the nose of the Supra. As always great support from Neil and his team

Perfect motor for my 50oz F5JNeeded a narrow motor for my Vixen 2. The Windy fit perfectly and performs as advertised. 12x6 on 3S pulled 48A and delivered appx. 400W@75% (watt meter).
Fits the 30mm nose, no gearbox, clean rear exiting wiring and it pulls the plane at 60°. I like it!

Great MotorI am using this in a 1500g f5j model with 11*6 CN prop on a 4s 850mah pack.
I'm entirely satisfied with the performance, I like this motor. Thanks to HyperFlight for a very quick delivery.
Review by: Simon Conran
Very pleasedBought the Xpower 2928/8 1380Kv from hyperflight, because I wanted something that wouldn't be a squeeze to get it into a 40mm nose.
I was a little nervous about it being sufficiently powerful, bring only 28mm diameter, but I needn't have worried.
Takes my Arthobby Avatar up at 8.6 m/s on merely a 9.5" x 6 " prop, drawing 33 amps on a 1350 50C 3s battery. Weight 1620 grams. I was impressed. Would no longer consider an inrunner with this beauty available.
One complaint, it didn't come with any mounting bolts, had to buy them separately!

XPower WindyThis motor replaces a much heavier motor/gearbox combo in my 3800 Xplorer using 11*6 prop and 4S 850mah power pack. I'm entirely satisfied with the performance. Thanks to HyperFlight for a very quick delivery.

Xpower windyI am using this in a 1550g f5j model with 11*6 GM prop on a 3s 850mah pack.
30 second climb gives 300m.
Puling 40amps.
Lovely and smooth reliable motor.
Review by: Dominic Messiha
Great MotorI purchased this motor for my Ava 3.2m electric. It replaced an older and much, much heavier Hacker B50 motor (!!).
So far I'm extremely pleased with the performance. Excellent power on a 12x8 prop and 3s 1350 mah battery pack. Very quiet as well. Running it through a 45 amp Castle BEC. Plane weighs 50 oz all up and I think this is basically the ideal powerplant for this type of plane.
Cheers to Hyperflight for not only providing incredible service all the way to California USA, but also for the extremely well laid out, informative website that shows prop and battery recommendations for all these motors. It makes life much, much easier!

XPower MotorGreat Motor! Great Service from Hyperflight... The combo is A+ I'm using a 4S 650mah pack and a 10x5 GM prop. It pulls my 73oz Infinity (F3J wings on a F5J fuse) vertical. The bench measurements are 546 Watts and 45.2 Amps. I really like this motor.

Windy XPower - very impressiveOn the bench draws about 50A on a 11x6 GM prop, 4S 850mAh LiPo. In the air will pull my F5J (1350g) as good as vertical. Shorter than a geared motor (so allowing battery to be further forward), fits easily in a 30mm nose, wires out the rear, no gearbox maintenance, smaller prop that geared motor so lower drag when gliding, and all at a fraction of the price of a geared motor. I’m very pleased with mine and assuming it lasts will not be going back to geared motors.

Windy X PowerThe motor is installed in a:
Windy Maxa at 2.23kg, 78.6 ounces all up,
Battery is a 4S, I'm running two types an 850mAh (Daves Toys Australia) and 900mAh black Hyperion.
11 x 7 Vladimers prop (A beautiful-looking propellor).
60 Amp speed controller. (set it to soft start)
Goes very well in both level and climbing flight, I am really impressed. It pulls about 53 amps in level flight based on battery recharge calculation ignoring losses and climbs at 10/14m/s.

XPower F2925/8 MotorA beautifully manufactured quality motor. I have only so far performed static testing on it but from these figures alone I think this will be a cracking F5J motor exhibiting excellent dash time and rate of climb in windy conditions where ballast will be used.
How its possible to design/manufacture such a small powerful in-runner motor is impressive. My static tests on 4S 850mah 80C battery with a 11x6 GM prop showed it giving 63A @985 Watts with min pack voltage of 13.4v. 60A is the recommended maximum continuous current draw for this motor but in actual flight this is likely to drop to around 50-55A with this battery/prop combination. Wont know for sure till I flight test it but experience tells me that in flight it should be under the 60A mark meaning that the recommended prop of11x6GM is probably about right. If you want a little more head room use a 10x6 or a10x5 GM Prop.
