Foxeer Black Hornet 2809

What it pulls

Foxeer’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.

What you get

• About 2.7 kg of pull on 6S

  At full throttle at 24 V it pulled 2,694 g on an HQ8045×3 (59.7 A) and 2,681 g on a DAL7056×3 (50.4 A) on Foxeer's bench.

• Semi-hollow titanium shaft

  A 4 mm semi-hollow titanium shaft, which Foxeer says cuts weight while keeping the motor strong, with a 5 mm threaded end for the prop.

What to pair it with

Our reading of Foxeer’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.

ESC

At full throttle at 24 V it drew 49.5 A on the GF7040×3, 50.4 A on the DAL7056×3 and 59.7 A, Foxeer's max current, on the HQ8045×3. A 55 A ESC covers the 7-inch props; the 8-inch wants 60 A. (Foxeer spec sheet)

Props

Foxeer tested it on the GF7040×3, DAL7056×3 and HQ8045×3. At 24 V it pulled 2,436 g, 2,681 g and 2,694 g at full throttle. (Foxeer spec sheet)

Battery

4S–6S; Foxeer tested it at 21 V and 24 V. (Foxeer spec sheet)

Frame

Four M3 holes on a 19 × 19 mm pattern. (Foxeer spec sheet)

Bench data

Redrawn from Foxeer’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:

• Shaft. Semi-hollow titanium, 4 mm, with a 5 mm threaded end for the prop. (Foxeer spec sheet)
• Stator. 12N14P, 28 × 9 mm, with a single-wrap winding of single-crystal oxygen-free copper in 260 °C wire. (Foxeer spec sheet)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1300KV 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.

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 Foxeer’s published sizes: the 28 × 9 mm stator, 34.3 mm bell, 21.3 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 19 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything Foxeer 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.
