What to pair it with

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

ESC

Rated for at least 61.2 A, the peak iFlight measured at full throttle on a Gemfan 8 × 6 × 3 at about 23.3 V. A 65 A or bigger ESC leaves room to spare. (iFlight 1150KV test report)

Props

iFlight tested it with a Gemfan 8 × 6 × 3 (3250 g at full throttle, 66 °C) and an HQ 8 × 4.5 × 3 (3232 g, 61 °C); the two stayed within 55 g of each other at every step. (iFlight 1150KV test report)

Battery

6S; iFlight gives 24 V as the input. (iFlight product page)

Frame

Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle (19 × 19). Four M3 × 6 countersunk screws and an M5 flange nut come in the box. (iFlight product page, iFlight 1150KV test report)

Bench data

Redrawn from iFlight’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:

• Bell. Segmented, in iFlight's words, φ33.55 mm, with five spokes across the top that each fork in two toward the rim. (iFlight product page, iFlight 1150KV test report)
• Shaft. 5 mm, protruding 15.15 mm above the bell, with 9 mm of thread for the M5 flange nut. (iFlight 1150KV test report)
• Magnets. Curved, centre-slotted N52H magnets, 14 poles. (iFlight product page)
• Stator. 28 × 12 mm with 12 teeth, wound with single-strand copper; 18 AWG leads, 260 mm long. (iFlight product page)
• Bearings. 11 × 5 × 5 mm; iFlight doesn't name the maker. (iFlight product page)
• Base. 3.5 mm thick, with four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle. (iFlight 1150KV test report)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1150KV 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 iFlight’s published sizes: the 28 × 12 mm stator, 33.55 mm bell, 27.65 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 19 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything iFlight 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.
