Ultralight 3- to 5-inch cinewhoop and toothpick motor

Flywoo NIN 2104

A 16 g ultralight motor for 3-inch cinewhoops to 5-inch toothpicks; on Flywoo's 24 V bench the 1800KV pulls 730 g on a D90 prop and 1,101 g on a Gemfan 5125 three-blade.

  • 3-inch cinewhoops and 4- to 5-inch toothpicks; Flywoo also names 6- to 7-inch long range
  • 4S–6S (1800KV) or 3S–4S (3000KV)
  • D76 and D90 props, and 5- to 6-inch props
Drawing the 3D model…

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2104 motor drawn from Flywoo’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are Flywoo’s bench figures for the GF5125*3 prop at 24 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 50% throttle.

On your quad

6.8 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 4,404 g with the GF5125*3 at 24 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 2,196 g, 3.4 times the quad’s weight.

All-up weight is the quad ready to fly, with its battery and camera. The thrust is the maker’s static bench figure; in the air it is lower.

ESC
Flywoo gives max currents of 22.2 A (1800KV) and 36.3 A (3000KV), each the full-throttle current with the Gemfan 5130 three-blade on its bench (24 V and 16 V). It marks the 3000KV run as hot (81 °C after 3 s). (Flywoo product page, Flywoo 1800KV data, Flywoo 3000KV data)
Props
Flywoo tested D76 and D90 props, Gemfan 5125, 5126, 5130 and 6026, and an HQ 6 × 2.5 three-blade. At 16 V the 3000KV pulls 794 g on the D90 and 1,142 g on the Gemfan 5125. (Flywoo 1800KV data, Flywoo 3000KV data)
Battery
4S–6S for the 1800KV, 3S–4S for the 3000KV. (Flywoo product page)
Frame

Bench data

Redrawn from Flywoo’s test reports. Thrust is static pull on a bench, more than you get in flight. Power is volts × amps; efficiency is thrust divided by power.

Inside the motor

A brushless outrunner: the coils stand still in the middle and the magnets spin around them. From the top down:

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1800KV version reaches about these speeds; a prop loads the motor and brings it down, typically to around 70–75% of these figures at full throttle.

BatteryVoltsNo-load rpm (KV × V)Electrical frequencyESC steps per second
4S nominal14.826,6403,108 Hz18,648
4S full16.830,2403,528 Hz21,168
6S nominal22.239,9604,662 Hz27,972
6S full25.245,3605,292 Hz31,752

A 14-pole rotor has 7 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 7 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 42 times per turn.

About the 3D model

A generic outrunner drawn from Flywoo’s published sizes: the 21 × 4 mm stator, 25.57 mm bell, 13.5 mm height, 1.5 mm shaft, 12 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything Flywoo doesn’t publish is typical for a motor this size, and the bell’s spoked top, the base and the inside are a generic design, not this motor’s. The colours are read off the maker’s product photos. There are no logos or markings: it is our drawing, not the maker’s.
